Beer batter Recipe?

Question

Can someone help me? I need a beer batter recipe for coating fish...a simple recipe if you could.

Answer 1

Try this recipe out, it works well with onion rings as well:
1 beer / warm and flat is best ( if in a hurry just use it )
1 egg
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 tablespoon pepper
1 1/2 cups flour
........add a bit more flour if your batter seems too thin *
This batter can be made ahead of time and kept refrigerated
A tip is to lightly coat the items to be battered with corn starch before dipping them into the batter.
Good Luck and Bonn Apetit =)

* extra large eggs and cold beer can cause the batter to be thinner than normal

Answer 2

I usually do this without a recipe , I get 1 bottle of beer pour it into a bowl add a pinch of salt and flour just enough to make the a batter like the one for pancakes, I would say around 11/2 cups

Answer 3

I use this for catfish and trout:

Beat an egg or two with some spicy brown mustard and 1/2 bottle of good dark ale.
Mix some corn meal and a little pepper.
Dip the fish in the batter then the corn meal and fry.

Quick, easy, and tasty. I find that using corn meal rather than bread crumbs or flour for the breading goes better with a beer and mustard batter. But that's just a matter of personal taste.
