   *RAW EGG WARNING
10. 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. 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. 12
    In a mixing bowl, blend the dry ingredients.
13. 13
    Stir in the egg, and while stirring, pour in the seltzer, 1/2 cup at a time.
14. 14
    Stir to completely combine ingredients.
15. 15
    Add enough seltzer so that the blend is the consistency of unwhipped heavy cream.
16. 16
    Stir in a few ice cubes to keep the batter very cold.
