    In a second medium bowl (large bowl for 4 servings), whisk together tempura batter mix , 1/3 cup water (2/3 cup for 4), salt, and pepper. TIP: If needed, add more water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a pancake-batter-like consistency. Stir in cauliflower until fully coated. Heat a 1/3-inch layer of cooking oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once oil is hot enough that a drop of batter sizzles when added to the pan, using a slotted spoon , add coated cauliflower. (TIP: Don't overcrowd the pan! You'll need to work in batches.) Cook until cauliflower is golden brown and crispy, 2-3 minutes per side. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
