Ingredients

2⁄3 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon salt

1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder

1⁄2 cup beer

1 egg

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Preparation

Mix flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl using a fork. Beat beer, egg and oil together in a separate bowl. Stir into flour mixture until well blended. Batter should be pretty smooth and moderately thick. Dip fish, shrimp, or onion slices in coating and deep-fry in hot oil that has been heated to 350 degrees, until it becomes golden. Drain, and serve while hot and crispy. This recipe also works well with chicken tenders and vegetable pieces; whatever you like to coat with beer batter.
