Jim in Anchorage Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 I like to make a beer batter myself, here's a quick recipe that I use as a base when making batter: 1 12 oz Beer 1 1/2 cups Flour 1/2 tsp Salt 1 tsp Paprika 1 cup Flour Pour the beer into a large bowl. Sift the flour, salt, and paprika into the beer, whisking until the batter is light and frothy. Before dipping the meat into the batter, cover with flour to get all the moisture off it so the batter with stick better. Then deep fry at 350 til a nice golden brown. Use stale beer. Expands when you look at it.

Mike In Illinois Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 You can always try to deep-fry some retatta.
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted April 19, 2010 Posted April 19, 2010 You can always try to deep-fry some retatta. Who's got that kind of time?
ajzepp Posted April 20, 2010 Author Posted April 20, 2010 You like this stuff?? I'd prefer regular Frank's, or just add Butter to regular Frank's if it's too strong for you. Didn't like the "Buffalo Wing" Franks sauce myself. Either way, good luck!! Point taken...I'll try it both ways
ajzepp Posted April 20, 2010 Author Posted April 20, 2010 You can always try to deep-fry some retatta. I may be out of pickle juice
ajzepp Posted April 20, 2010 Author Posted April 20, 2010 I have fried shrimp in our outdoor turkey fryer many times and it may be my favorite fried food. I get the tempura batter that they usually have next to the seafood counter and substitute beer for the water. I then add plenty of Old Bay to the batter. Get decent sized raw shrimp (peel em) and dip them in the batter holding on to the tail. fry till golden brown. I have done a lot of deep frying in my day, and the shrimp are my top choice. dude, that sounds amazing....I love fried shrimp
Chef Jim Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 I may be out of pickle juice And you call yourself a man.
ajzepp Posted April 20, 2010 Author Posted April 20, 2010 Some good recipes here: http://web.archive.org/web/20060909115847/...e.com/cookbook/ Specifically this: http://web.archive.org/web/20060903170914/...gory=Appetizers Or this: http://web.archive.org/web/20060906011434/...gory=Appetizers (wife has made the wontons - they're great. The eggplant sounds good too!) Eggplant is a food that has somehow managed to escape me...never tried it! This might be the perfect time And I agree, those crab wontons sound very tasty
ajzepp Posted April 20, 2010 Author Posted April 20, 2010 Deep fryers...have a 240 ABC fire extinguisher at the ready. I would 'lol', but the truth is I'm scared SHITLESS of fires....I'll have two ready!
Chef Jim Posted April 20, 2010 Posted April 20, 2010 I would 'lol', but the truth is I'm scared SHITLESS of fires....I'll have two ready! And you call yourself a man. FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!
ajzepp Posted April 20, 2010 Author Posted April 20, 2010 I'd add a 1/2 tsp of baking powder to that batter recipe. It makes the coating a bit fluffier. /no homo check!
