*RAW EGG WARNING
10
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness.
11
To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.
12
In a mixing bowl, blend the dry ingredients.
13
Stir in the egg, and while stirring, pour in the seltzer, 1/2 cup at a time.
14
Stir to completely combine ingredients.
15
Add enough seltzer so that the blend is the consistency of unwhipped heavy cream.
16
Stir in a few ice cubes to keep the batter very cold.
