THE BEST ALL PURPOSE DEEP FRY BATTER

The Best All Purpose Deep Fry Batter image

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.

Time 20m

Yield 15 pieces of fish, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 (12 ounce) can beer
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon pepper
2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons Mrs. Dash table blend seasoning
1 cup extra flour (for dredging)

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).

Time 13m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

3 eggs
1 cup self-rising flour
water, to thin
4 cups highly seasoned flour (for dredging, use anything you like; for shrimp, my usual mix is salt, pepper, granulated garlic, an)

Steps:

Mix eggs and flour together, then thin with water to a consistency just thick enough to adhere to the food you intend to fry.
If necessary, rinse or dip food to be fried in water.
Then dip food into seasoned flour, then into batter, then back into the seasoned flour.
For shrimp, onion rings, or almost anything else, you'll be able to gauge doneness by the golden color of the batter; the trick is to not attempt to batter-fry too-large pieces of anything.

Tips:

Choose the right oil: Use a high-smoke-point oil that can withstand high temperatures without burning. Some good options include vegetable oil, canola oil, and peanut oil.
Heat the oil to the correct temperature: The ideal temperature for deep-frying is between 350°F and 375°F. Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the right temperature before adding your food.
Use a deep fryer or a large pot: A deep fryer is the safest and most efficient way to deep-fry food. However, you can also use a large pot if you don't have a deep fryer. Just make sure the pot is deep enough to hold the oil and food without overflowing.
Dry your food thoroughly before frying: This will help to prevent splattering and ensure that your food cooks evenly.
Don't overcrowd the fryer: Adding too much food to the fryer at once will cause the oil temperature to drop, resulting in greasy, undercooked food.
Cook your food in batches: If you're cooking a large amount of food, cook it in batches to avoid overcrowding the fryer.
Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove your food from the fryer: This will help to drain the excess oil from your food.
Drain your food on paper towels: This will help to remove any excess oil from your food.
Season your food after frying: Season your food with salt, pepper, or other spices after it has been fried to taste.

Conclusion:

Deep-frying is a versatile cooking method that can be used to create a variety of delicious dishes. By following these tips, you can ensure that your deep-fried food turns out perfectly every time. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and start frying!
