Steps:
- In a large cast-iron Dutch oven, heat the oil over high heat until it reaches 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
- To make the batter, in a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, baking powder, cayenne pepper and 1 teaspoon salt. In a second bowl or large liquid measuring cup, combine the beer, eggs and onions. Add some salt and pepper and whisk until smooth. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, using as few strokes as possible. (The mixture should resemble wet sand; add more beer, if needed.)
- Line a plate with paper towels and set by the cooktop. To fry the hushpuppies, scoop up the batter using a medium ice cream scoop and drop it into the hot oil without crowding. Fry, stirring occasionally with a slotted spoon, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to the prepared plate. Adjust the heat to maintain the proper temperature and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve immediately.

EASY BEER BATTER
First rule of beer batter: Beer batter is not complicated, it should only contain beer and self-raising flour. Second rule of beer batter: The beer should be cold. Third rule of beer batter: You DO NOT need to sift the flour and don't over-whisk it. A few lumps actually makes for a better texture. Fourth and most important rule of beer batter: It is important to choose the correct beer according to what you are going to cook. As any ingredient ranges in texture and taste, so does beer.

Steps:
- Whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper in a large bowl to combine. Add butter and work in with a pastry blender or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal (the largest butter pieces should be no bigger than a pea).
- Make a well in the center of flour mixture and add egg and buttermilk to well. Gradually incorporate into dry ingredients, mixing from the center out, until a smooth batter forms. Add onion and jalapeño and mix gently just to evenly disperse (be careful not to overmix).
- Pour oil into a large heavy saucepan to come halfway up sides and fit with thermometer. Heat oil over medium-high until thermometer registers 350°F. Using a 1-oz. scoop or a tablespoon and working in 2-3 batches, carefully drop balls of batter into oil and fry, turning often with a spider or a slotted spoon and adjusting heat to maintain temperature, until hushpuppies are puffed and deep golden all over, about 4 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and let cool slightly.
- Serve warm hushpuppies with tartar sauce alongside for dipping.
- Batter can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and chill. Scoop cold batter directly into hot oil and fry.
Tips:
- Use cold beer for the batter. This will help to create a light and crispy coating.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough hushpuppies.
- Fry the hushpuppies in hot oil. The oil should be at least 350°F (175°C).
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the hushpuppies. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the hushpuppies will not cook evenly.
- Drain the hushpuppies on paper towels before serving. This will help to remove excess oil.
- Serve the hushpuppies with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard.
Conclusion:
Beer batter hushpuppies are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for any occasion, from casual get-togethers to formal parties. With their crispy coating and fluffy interior, hushpuppies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
