1234? beer batter recipes

[minnowdangler71]

i have 15 sunnie and crappie filets, looking for a GOOD beer batter recipe. thanks in advance!!!

[Borch]

Here's mine

2/3 cup flour
1/2 cup corn meal
2 tbsp Old Bay
1/2 tsp pepper
8-10 oz beer(desired thickness)

Lightly salt after removing fillets for frying pan.

Forms a light crisp batter coating. Not to thick. Works well on deep fried veggies too.

[beer batter]

1 cup flour
1/2 cup milk
4 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
3 tblsp dill pickle juice
approx. 1/2 cup beer

I usually add the beer last so that I can adjust the consistency of the mixture. It should end up very similar to a cake batter consistency but sometimes things get thrown off a bit depending on how precise the other measurements are. I rarely measure the ingredients any more but I've found that the pickle juice is the key ingredient to differentiate it from other recipes. Makes a very light, flaky batter that also works well with deep fried mushrooms, cauliflour, and cheese curds!!

Another factor to the consitency is the fish itself. If the fillets are wet, it will make a runnier battet. I usually tap them with a paper towel to dry them off before setting in the batter.

Bon Appetite!

These are good recipes. I'm going to try the one with the pickle juice.
If you want a really simple one, use crusteze pancake mix. Don't use water, use beer. Mix so that it is thinner than normal. Add any extra flavorings you want.

Mine is pretty simple but very good,

1 packet of shorelunch, regular or cajun.
4 oz. plain breadcrumbs
(MIX) two together in one bowl.

1/2 cup milk
1 egg
(beat together)

dip fish in milk and egg
powder in crumbs, and fry with a little oil. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!good

[rmh2o]

2 cups flour
1/2 - 2/3 cups corn flake crumbs
1 med onion ground very very fine {optional}but recomended if you like onion,gives it a slight onion flavor
add beer till it looks like pancake batter or a little thinner,not to thin or it wont stick to fillets
deep fry in 2-3 inches of oil or deep fryer as the batter puffs up a little while cooking and will stick to bottom of pan if to shallow of oil or put fillets in slowly and they will float after batter cooks for a few seconds
I like to place my fillets in a paper bag after cooking as it will absorb any access oil

I have never made beer batter before. Does the beer need to be opened and "flat" or can it be fresh and carbonated?

Thanks,
Sandbar

why not fry fish in eggs and cracker crumbs and save the beer and get drunk while eating fish.

think about it

[JP Z]

1 Cup Flour
1 Egg
1 Beer
1 Can of Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs.
Fish........Duh!!

Mix the Flour, Beer, and Egg into a pancake mix texture.

Add fish to the mixture and coat.

Then dip fish in Bread crumbs and drop(gently) into the hot oil.

Cook until Golden Brown.
