Whisk All-Purpose Flour (2 cups), Baking Powder (1 tsp), and Salt (1 tsp) together in a large mixing bowl to aerate them. Then whisk in Honey (2 Tbsp), followed by the cold Soda Water (2 1/4 cups). Whisk it all together thoroughly until it is smooth, then refrigerate it until you are ready to fry.

step 5

Get out the goat cheese balls and batter. In batches of two, coat the goat cheese balls in the seasoned flour first, followed by the batter. Drop them in the oil and stir them around so that they don't stick.
