Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Shrimp Recipes

Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups batter

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large eggs
1 bottle light- or medium-bodied lager (12 ounces), cold
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
Coarse salt
5 cups vegetable oil
2 1/2 to 3 pounds shrimp, firm fish fillets (such as cod), or desired vegetables (such as onions or pepperoncini), cut into pieces if necessary
2 cups buttermilk (if using onions)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk eggs until smooth, then whisk in beer. Add 1 1/2 cups flour and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and whisk until combined. Place 1 cup flour in a shallow bowl. Place a wire rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet; set near stove.
  • In a wide 6-quart pot fitted with a deep-fat or candy thermometer, heat oil to 375 degrees over medium. (The oil should bubble rapidly when a pinch of flour is added.) Working in small batches, lightly coat food in flour, then dip in batter, gently shaking off excess. Fry, turning halfway through, until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes per batch (adjust heat to maintain 375 degrees). With a slotted spoon, transfer food to rack to drain and discard any browned bits of batter. Season immediately with salt. Keep warm in a 200-degree oven.

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

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).

The finest CRISPY batter recipe. Always used by myself and never fails to impress. For the crispiest batter you must steer well clear of eggs!
