THE BEST ALL PURPOSE DEEP FRY BATTER
We dont deep-fry a lot but when we do..we do a WHACK of stuff. I've tried numerous recipes and this by far is the cheapest, tastiest and works with everything. Fish and onion rings are phenomenol. Spices are to your own taste and can be adjusted to whatever taste you want. Believe me...I've added everything from curry to southwestern tastes, this 'basic' recipe is just a guideline to the spices and taste you are looking for. ENJOY, it's awesome.

Steps:
- Mix all dry ingredients, except the extra flour, whisk together.
- Add beer and only mix lightly.
- DO NOT over mix. If there are flour lumps just squish with the back of a spoon.
- You want the mix to be blended but not overmixed as it will not 'puff up' when deep-frying.
- For fish,shrimp, and 'meaty or wet' items I usually towel dry them and dredge them in the additional flour.
- Then dip and cover in mixture. Let the excess drip off and when putting any item in the deep fryer -- use tongs.and dip whatever you are deep frying in the oil for about 10 seconds, then release.
- This prevents the food from sticking to the bottom of the fryer. (Took us a while to learn that technique).
- When it comes to fish or something long or big -- I just put the first inch or 2 in and let it bubble for a few seconds so that I know it won't sink to the bottom and stick. (I truly hated that with deep frying).

Tips for Making the Best Fish Batter:
- Use cold beer or sparkling water: The carbonation in the beer or sparkling water will help to create a light and crispy batter.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a light hand when coating the fish: Don't pack the batter on the fish. A thin coating will cook more evenly.
- Fry the fish in hot oil: The oil should be at least 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the fish will not cook evenly.
- Drain the fish on paper towels: This will help to remove excess oil.
