I tried this on my shrimp the other night and it was delicious. I also fried some chicken tenders in the batter and they were delicious as well.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup self-rising flour
2 tablespoons self-rising flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
1 egg, beaten
7 ounces beer (small 1/2 bottles) or 1 cup beer
oil, to fry

Steps:

  • If using onions, I cut them into thick slices (about 1/2") and soak the rings in ice water for about 15 - 30 minutes to get rid of any strong flavor. Drain on paper towels or towel to get dry.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together; then add the egg and beer, stirring until smooth and completely blended. You can put the batter in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes while the onions are soaking.
  • Dip the rings or choice of veggies, etc. into the batter, making sure all sides are covered.
  • Fry the rings in hot oil (about 375 degrees) for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden on all sides. Drain on paper towels and eat as soon as they are cool enough to pick up.

Tips:

  • Use cold beer for the batter. This will help the batter stay light and crispy.
  • Make sure the batter is thick enough to coat the food evenly. If the batter is too thin, it will not adhere to the food and will not fry properly.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the food. This will cause the food to steam instead of fry and will result in soggy food.
  • Fry the food in hot oil. The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the food.
  • Do not fry the food for too long. Overcooked food will be tough and dry.
  • Drain the food on paper towels after frying to remove any excess oil.

Conclusion:

Beer batter is a versatile batter that can be used to fry a variety of foods, including fish, shrimp, onion rings, and vegetables. It is a light and crispy batter that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a delicious and easy way to fry food, give beer batter a try.
