I’ve discussed the best beer batter recipe I know of in my beer battered fish recipe, but I didn’t want anyone thinking it’s only a beer batter recipe for fish.  I have used this batter on fish, chicken, beef, broccoli, cauliflower, Twinkies, candy bars, and basically anything edible that I can get my hands on (coming soon – deep fried cake pops).  It’s always been delicious and I owe it all to this recipe, so here you go.

How to Make Beer Batter

Ingredients:

White Flour
Bisquick
Heineken Beer

That’s it.  Three ingredients.  But here’s where it get’s really complicated.

Instructions

1. Mix 2 parts white flour with 1 part Bisquick.  I find that 2 & 1 cups is enough for a decent amount of food, but you will have to adjust depending on how much you’re making.
2. Add Heinken until you achieve a good batter consistency.  It’s difficult to describe exactly what this is, and this might take some practice.  I have found for the above measurements that about 2/3rds of a can of beer will do.  What do you do with the rest of the Heineken?  I recommend dumping it down the drain and then pulling a good beer out of the fridge to drink.  I’m just saying – Heineken is gross.

Whew.  Did you get all that?  I know for you fledgling fryers out there, this beer batter recipe might be a real brain buster, but don’t worry, you’ll get he hang of it in no time.  Just fire up your home deep fryer and give it a try.
