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).
UNBELIEVABLE FISH BATTER
In the early 1950's, I received this recipe on an open-line, talk-radio show. It makes the lightest, crispiest batter imaginable. This makes enough to coat approximately 2 pounds of fish.

Whether I'm fixing cod fillets or my husband's catch of the day, this fish fry batter makes the fish golden and crispy. Club soda gives it a different twist, and the sweet and zippy sauce complements the fish nicely. -Nancy Johnson, Connersville, Indiana

Tips for Perfect Batter-Fried Anything:
- Use cold liquids in the batter, as this will help keep the batter light and crisp. - Don't overmix the batter, as this will also make it tough. - Let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes before using, this will allow the flour to fully absorb the liquid and create a smooth, consistent batter. - Season the batter with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. - Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven for frying, as this will help maintain a consistent temperature. - Heat the oil to the proper temperature before adding the food, this will help prevent the food from sticking to the pan and ensure that it cooks evenly. - Don't overcrowd the pan when frying, as this will cause the temperature of the oil to drop and the food will not cook evenly. - Cook the food until it is golden brown and crispy, then drain it on paper towels to remove excess oil. - Serve the fried food immediately, while it is still hot and crispy.Conclusion:
With a little practice, you can master the art of batter-frying and create delicious, crispy fried foods that everyone will love. Just remember to follow these tips and you'll be sure to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills. Happy frying!
