Beer Batter recipe

4.9198

Ingredients

2-3/4 cups flour

2 Tablespoons oil

2 whole eggs

3/4 teaspoon salt

Dash pepper

1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 cup flat beer

3/4 cup cold water

Open beer and leave it at room temperature for at least 1 day. Chill until cold. Add water, oil, and eggs; mix just enough to break egg yolks. In separate bowl, mix flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. (If you omit this step and add the garlic powder directly to the liquid, it will lump up and not dissolve). Whisk in dry ingredients, leaving some small lumps. Refrigerate until ready to use. Can be made ahead 24 hours. Remix. If going to use right away, you may thicken with additional flour.

Use with Coconut Salmon and Halibut in Beer Batter.
