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).
BEER BATTER
As long as there is a beer in the house this is a quick and easy recipe without any fancy ingredients. You can find all the ingredients in a standard kitchen! This batter is great for deep frying white fish. Fresh lake perch and walleye are especially tasty in this beer batter.

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.

Steps:
- Mix eggs and flour together, then thin with water to a consistency just thick enough to adhere to the food you intend to fry.
- If necessary, rinse or dip food to be fried in water.
- Then dip food into seasoned flour, then into batter, then back into the seasoned flour.
- For shrimp, onion rings, or almost anything else, you'll be able to gauge doneness by the golden color of the batter; the trick is to not attempt to batter-fry too-large pieces of anything.
Tips for Making the Best All-Purpose Deep Fry Batter:
- Use cold beer or sparkling water. The carbonation in these liquids helps to create a light and crispy batter.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough batter.
- Use a light hand when coating the food in batter. A thick layer of batter will prevent the food from cooking evenly.
- Fry the food in hot oil. The oil should be between 350 and 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overcrowd the fryer. Overcrowding will cause the oil temperature to drop, resulting in soggy food.
- Drain the food on paper towels before serving. This will help to remove excess oil.
Conclusion:
Making a great all-purpose deep fry batter is easy if you follow these tips. With a little practice, you'll be able to fry up delicious food that everyone will love. So next time you're in the mood for something fried, give this recipe a try!
