easy as pie

Sun, 2009-05-24 16:16

1/2 cup of plain flour

1/2 cup of self raising flour

1 egg

1 stubbie of your favourite beer

pinch of salt

 

mix the flour together and add a touch of salt. break the egg into it and start sirring. Add the beer bit by bit as you stir to get the batter to the consistency you want. chill it in the fridge for about an hour before use. My cousin (a chef) reckons its best to substitute some of the plain flour for corn flour, but IMO is not necessary.

 

Make sure your oil is HOT! The bestest lightest batter is made from using very cold batter and very hot oil.

 

 

Enjoy.
