Batter for crispy frying, is the preparation to achieve a light, dry, and crispy fry. To make it, we only need two ingredients: flour and cold beer or very cold sparkling water. The batter must have the right consistency, neither too liquid nor too thick: to be smooth and velvety, it’s necessary to respect the proportions of beer and flour, and mix with a whisk by hand to avoid lumps.
The beer will make the batter for frying light and crispy and will enhance the taste of the food without making it heavy. We can also use it to fry chicken bites, squid rings or calamari.
It really works well for all ingredients.
