Special Notes
This versatile beer batter is perfect for fish, vegetables, or any food you want to deep-fry. The carbonation in the beer creates a light, crispy texture. Use a cold, light beer for the best results. The batter should be used immediately as the carbonation will dissipate over time, affecting the texture.
