Whisk the cake flour and rice flour together in a medium glass bowl and divide it in half. Set aside.

Heat vegetable oil to 365 degrees. Whisk the egg, seltzer water and vodka. Pour half of the liquid mixture into half of the dry mixture and whisk to briefly, about 10 to 15 seconds. Lumps remaining are good. Set the glass bowl in a larger bowl lined with ice. Put the rest of the liquid mixture in the refrigerator to chill. The oil should now be about 375 degrees. 

Fry!
