    Heat a ⅓-inch layer of cooking oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. While oil heats, stir broccoli into bowl with batter until coated. TIP: If needed, add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a pancake-batter-like consistency. Once oil is hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles when added to the pan, using a slotted spoon, add coated broccoli. TIP: Don’t overcrowd the pan! You may need to work in batches. Cook until broccoli is golden brown and crisp, ⏱️ 2-3 minutes per side. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper towels -lined plate. Immediately season with a pinch of salt .
