Eggless Batter

[ellebear]

Hi, my little one has a sensitivity to egg but I want to make things such as 'bang bang chicken' so need some kind of batter but without egg. Does anyone have any suggestions please?

Thanks.

Hi! Welcome to the site!

How old is your little one?

I make something similar to bang bang chicken (shnitzel with bread topping).
I do use egg, but there is no reason you couldn't just use water or some other liquid. Or alternatevily, rub the chicken with some mayo or mustard before breading it. After you cold it helps to pat it firmly into the bread crumbs so they stick better.

Lots of luck!

Hi Elle. You can just use plain flour, self raising flour or cornflour, and mix with water or fizzy water to make a similar consistency to ordinary batter. Self raising flour and fizzy water both give the batter a lighter puffier end result in whatever mix and match batter your cupboard allows.

Thanks for your responses. Jack's one in two weeks.

I will have a go and see how I get on. Although saying that I made the apple and chicken balls the other day and he was not impressed at all - most of it ended up on the floor!!
