Ultimate Tempura Batter

1. I

   In a large bowl place the egg yolks.

2. II

   Add iced water gradually, stirring (preferably with hashi(chopsticks)) and blending well.

3. III

   Add flour all at once, stir BRIEFLY; that is well enough to coat but leave the lumps and bumps!

5. V

   Coat selected large vegetables in batter and fry for a minute or two on each side.
