Perfect Deep Fry Batter Recipes

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).

Steps:

• Mix thoroughly. I usually put it all in a jar and shake it.
• Use to dip chicken nuggets, fish, or any vegetable you want to deep fry. Remember to blot water or other liquid off the food before you batter it.

Steps:

• Take four bowls
• Put 1 c milk in Bowl 1.
• Seperate the flour into 2 c and 1 cup.
• Combine Creole seasoning and 2 cups of flour to make Bowl 2.
• Add beaten eggs to make bowl 3.
• Combine Salt and Pepper with 1 c of flour to make bowl 4.
• In that order, dip chicken (or whatever you will fry)shaking off excess after each dip.
• Deep fry as per the deep fryer instructions. Usually about 4-6 minutes at 350.

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.

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
• In a separate mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup plus 1 Tablespoon water, 1 Tablespoon beaten egg, and oil.
• Add wet ingredients to dry and combine until mixed.
• Follow your deep fryer instructions for whatever veggie or meat you're frying.
• This batter is thin and delicious. Don't worry if it doesn't look like it's thick enough. It works great.
