2 egg yolks, beaten
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 egg whites, stiffly beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
pinch each garlic and onion powder (optional)

Separate eggs (yolks from whites) into 2 small bowls. In a medium bowl, beat egg yolks with 1/2 cup milk. Add melted butter.

Whisk together salt, flour and garlic/onion powder (if using) until well combined. Beat into egg-milk mixture until smooth.

Add the remaining half cup of milk to the batter; stir well. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites.

Adjust batter: If mixture seems too thin, add more flour, if too thick, add more milk.

Use batter for seafood (fish fillets, clams, scallops, etc.)
