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).
BATTER FOR DEEP FRYING
This batter is awesome for deep frying anything! Onion rings, mushrooms, zucchini spears, fish, chicken, shrimp, etc. It is light and thin so you can actually still taste the food you deep fried. This recipe doesn't seem like it would make a lot, but it's so thin that it really covers a lot of food.

Tips for Frying Food
- Choose the right oil. Different oils have different smoke points, which is the temperature at which the oil starts to burn. For frying, you want an oil with a high smoke point, such as canola oil, vegetable oil, or peanut oil.
- Heat the oil to the right temperature. The ideal temperature for frying is between 350°F and 375°F. You can use a kitchen thermometer to check the temperature of the oil.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When you fry food, it's important to not overcrowd the pan. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the food will not cook evenly.
- Fry the food in small batches. If you're frying a lot of food, it's best to do it in small batches. This will help to prevent the oil temperature from dropping too much.
- Drain the food on paper towels. When the food is done frying, drain it on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Conclusion
