Beer batter

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 15 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   I would like to share with you a recipe that tells you how to make beer batter. First, let's prepare all the necessary products.

2. STEP 2

   

   We begin the cooking process by taking a deep bowl of a suitable size and sifting the flour into it through a fine, small strainer. It is necessary to sift so that the flour does not form lumps and spoil the batter.

3. STEP 3

   

   Gradually pour warm light beer into the bowl with flour - it should be freshly opened, with gases. If the beer runs out of steam, the batter will not turn out the way it should. All this time, while we are pouring the beer, we need to make continuous stirring movements. This can be done with a spoon. A homogeneous mass without lumps should form. You may need less or more flour, depending on the consistency of the dough. Read more about flour below the steps.

4. STEP 4

   

   After this, add butter to the resulting mass. It should not be frozen, otherwise it will not melt so quickly and will not interfere with the total mass. It is better if the butter is well melted.

5. STEP 5

   

   Next, beat 2 eggs into a bowl and add salt to your taste. It is better to take homemade eggs and you can beat them in advance in a separate bowl using a whisk. Mix all the contents of the bowl thoroughly. So, in principle, our batter is ready - moderately thick and ready for further use.

6. STEP 6

   

   For example, I fried onion rings in it.

7. STEP 7

   

   As you can see, the batter turned out to be very successful - it gave the finished dish a beautiful crust and made it look as appetizing as possible.

I wanted to fry pike perch fillet in beer batter. I didn’t make any kind of batter, but I didn’t use beer. I sifted the flour for the dough to saturate it with oxygen. I added a little butter of my own. Heated it in the microwave for 10 seconds. And my beer is light Czech. Having mixed all the products with a whisk, I got a thick batter with a smooth consistency. The fish was first rolled in flour and then dipped in batter. It holds up well and doesn't sag! There was enough for four small fillets. After frying, the batter turned out very fluffy, tasty and crispy! The fish in it is like filling in a pie). I will use this recipe again!
