Oh my, this recipe is fantastic! Definitely a keeper!
Was very good, but I hate dipping and over and over. Mixed it all into one batter. I mean everything and it turned out delicious
Turned out well. Hubby and I fried green tomatoes, squash, pickles, onions, potatoes and finally the fish. Favorites were the pickles and potatoes. I did add some salt, pepper and cayenne.
This batter is excellent! I had a problem with the batter sticking to the deep fryer basket. I checked on line for a solution and found some advice that stated one should “fish” the battered food before immersing.
This is a perfect recipe for beer battered COD fish and mushrooms. S0 MUCH FLAVOR I add heaping tablespoon of OLD BAY SEASONING to the flour for dredging everyone loved it. So much so were doing different meat and vegetables tonight! Kimi
THINGS TO ADD: Add grated romano cheese to the batter and WOW! You can also sprinkle it on when they are still hot. I also added hot sauce and sriracha another time. Here is a hint: Microwave vegetables first or par-cook them so they are softer. This allows you to fry them quickly. You do not have to do this with zucchini which is incredible when beer battered with cheese. Cauliflower is fantastic when beer battered. GLUTEN FREE: Use rice flour which is crispier.
Excellent nice and crunchy and cooks Up nice veggies stay crunchy too this is a new keeper for the garden veggies in full swing!! Thanks for sharing the best one I have found
The batter is a little sticky, a little messy but what can you spect 🙂 I added garlic powder to de mix and tastes great!
Best recipe for batter vegetable yet! My husband doesn’t usually give High praises but told me not to lose this one!!!!
if you prepare as written it has no flavor. Even with the beer there’s just no kick. It is better when you add some spices to the flour beer mixture. I’ve rated it as written. But it definitely has promise. Will use this as a base.
This was surprisingly good. I’ve had beer batter in the past and always felt it had a strange after taste to it but not this recipe. I fried up some mushrooms and onions. They were great. Will definitely use it again.
I really liked this but I needed to add more flour to make it thick enough to stick to veggies!
Great recipe. I recommend using a dark and malty beer with sweet onions like vidalias. Also, I seasoned the flour, egg and beer mixtures. Additionally, you gotta add corn starch to the flour. It makes the rings extra crispy.
love this recipe, I don’t do any double dipping and I left out the milk and egg mixture, I also added extra seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper and season salt to the beer and flour batter I also let my oil get extremly hot in the deep fryer before adding veggies (mushrooms, squash, zucchini, onions and broccoli), my family ask for this everytime we have any type of gathering.
Very bland. Although the better was a great consistency and had good crunch it just definitely needed A LOT more seasoning. I did think it was fun though frying things like carrots and bell peppers (which I used red). I used a light beer but next time I will use a dark (hoping for more flavor) and definitely some garlic powder and cayenne in with the flour mixture.
A couple of problems – 1st the recipe does not state 2 cups flour – divided. I almost added all the flour with the beer – instead of 1 1/2 cups. In previous reviews people complained about the batter being too thick – this might be the problem. 2nd problem – No seasoning! No Salt, No Pepper! Nothing! and it tastes like it – Nothing! So why 3 stars? It has great potential – add your seasonings to taste and make sure your oil is 350 -375 – it takes a while brown – that is the nature of the beast. I am glad I made this – it needed a picture – but I think I won’t give up my old method. Thank you for sharing.
I really love this recipe! but it is a bit bland.so to the flour mixture I added pepper,seasoned salt,garlic powder,onion powder.use lots of all b/c some of it comes off with the 3rd batter.I did use all 3 steps of battering.love this.with the added seasoning its 5 star
A little bland and runny, but could be better with added spices and refrigeration.
FANTASTIC… I used another recipe for years and this one was BETTER.. I give it 5 stars
My roomate and I made this recipe and loved it! You just have to give it time to cook! The zucchini was brown and crispy and very tastey!
I used this recipe to fry long pieces of zucchini. It worked very well. I made one modification: after tasting the first piece I fried, I added salt to the batter.
