A simple, crispy beer batter that's perfect for fish, shrimp, onion rings, or vegetables. The beer adds lightness while the cornstarch ensures a perfectly crisp coating.

Ingredients

Scale: 1x
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned salt
  • 1 bottle beer

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, and seasoned salt.
  2. Slowly pour in beer while whisking to create a smooth batter. Add enough beer to achieve desired consistency.
  3. Dip food items into batter, allowing excess to drip off.
  4. Fry immediately in hot oil (350-375°F) until golden and crispy.

Tips

For an extra light and crispy result, refrigerate the batter for 30 minutes before using. The colder the batter, the crispier the result. For fish, try using a light beer like a pilsner or lager.
