After my post about how to make beer batter I got lots of requests for a plain and simple normal batter recipe. This recipe I have found for a batter mix is very simple and can be used for almost anything that you want to deep fry such as fish, pancakes or Yorkshire pudding.
For this recipe you will need:
2 Eggs
100g (4oz) Flour
300ml (1.25 cups) Milk
A pinch of Salt
You then add these ingredients into a food processor (mixer) and mix for 2 minutes (I told you it was easy! If you don't have a food mixer then you can beat the flour and milk together and then whisk in the eggs and salt.
Let it stand in the fridge for 30 minutes and you are done!
If it still seems hard (or you don't like reading) here is a video explaining the same thing that I just wrote - enjoy!
I must admit I love fried seafood and one of my favorite batter recipes is beer batter. It has such a lovely flavor and creates a delicious crispy coating on almost anything you can think of frying. I have personally used it on everything from fish to zucchini fritters and friends always comment on it's flavor and crispiness (and it is a great way to get your kids to eat their veggies!).
For this recipe you will need the following ingredients:
Plain Flour
Ground Nut Oil (this can be substituted with other oils)
Beer
Salt and Pepper
Spices (optional)
Seafood to batter
This recipe is very simple, but it makes great batter. You will probably find that it makes better batter than packet batter and contains much less salt than the packet variety, which is better for your health.
I recommend experimenting with different foods to batter as you never know when you will find a gem of a battered dish that you had never thought of (a bit like my Zucchini fritters).
