How to Make Beer Batter Seafood

1. Heat 2 inches of oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
2. Lightly dust the seafood (approximately 1 lb) with 3-4 tablespoons of Bisquick baking mix.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup beer (preferably light), 1 large egg, ½ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper until just smooth. (Optional: substitute Old Bay or Cajun seasoning for salt and pepper to taste).
4. Dip the seasoned seafood into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off.
5. Carefully place the battered seafood into the hot oil. Fry for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
6. Remove the fried seafood with a slotted spoon and place it on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy, delicious Beer Batter Seafood! Serve with your doubled onion rings recipe, if desired.
