How to Make Beer Batter For Fish Shrimp Onion Rings

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup beer (lager or pilsner recommended), 1 large egg, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil.
  3. Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. The batter should be smooth and slightly thick. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon of beer at a time until desired consistency is reached.
  5. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Dip your favorite protein (fish fillets, shrimp, chicken tenders, tofu) or vegetables (onion rings, mushrooms) into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
  7. Carefully place the battered items into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove the fried items from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve immediately while hot and crispy! Enjoy!
