Deep Fry Batter Recipe

This quick and easy beer batter recipe will give you the crispiest, lightest coating for all your deep-fried favorites. Perfect for fish, shrimp, or even veggies, it’s simple to make and packed with flavor. Get ready to elevate your frying game!

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)

Instructions:

Step 1 – Prepare Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Mrs. Dash seasoning. Set aside the extra cup of flour for later.

Step 2 – Mix in the Beer

Pour in the beer gradually while gently mixing the batter. Stir just enough to combine, but do not overmix. A few lumps are fine—they will help the batter stay light and puffy when fried.

Step 3 – Dredge the Food

For items like fish or shrimp, pat them dry with a towel. Lightly coat them in the extra flour you set aside earlier. This helps the batter stick to the food.

Step 4 – Coat in Batter

Dip each dredged item into the beer batter, ensuring it’s fully covered. Let any excess batter drip off before frying.

Step 5 – Fry with Care

Using tongs, lower each item into the hot oil, dipping it into the oil for about 10 seconds before releasing. This technique prevents the food from sticking to the fryer. For larger pieces, dip just the tip into the oil first, let it bubble, and then release to fry fully.
