Number Of Ingredients 11

canola oil or safflower oil, for deep frying (I use extra virgin, but Canola or Saflower oil is also okay to use)
1 tablespoon onion soup mix
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or 1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1/2 cup beer (of your choice)
8 ounces broccoli florets
8 ounces cauliflower florets
8 ounces small button mushrooms
8 ounces zucchini, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds (Do Not Peel)

Steps:

  • In a deep fryer, add oil as per directions for your deep fryer and heat to 375°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add onion soup mix, flour, baking powder, eggs and mustard and whisk until smooth and well blended.
  • Add beer and mix with a spoon to blend.
  • Let batter rest for about 10 minutes before using.
  • Prepare vegetables, rinse and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Dip veggies into batter, drop into hot oil in batches and deep fry until golden brown, turning at least once.
  • When done, remove and place on paper towelling to absorb excess oil.
  • Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or Uncle Bill's Garden Dip.
