This American appetiser or snack features a selection of vegetables coated in a light, crispy beer batter and fried until perfectly golden. The batter requires a resting period to develop its texture. Vegetables are first dipped in an egg wash and seasoned flour before receiving their final beer batter coating. They are then fried in hot oil and drained on paper towels for optimal crispiness. Serve them immediately with your favourite dipping sauce for a delicious, shareable treat. The recipe yields enough for six people.

Beer Battered Fried Vegetables

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups beer
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 carrot, cut into thick strips
  • 1 onion, sliced into rings
  • 6 fresh mushrooms, stems removed
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced in rings

Method

  1. Combine 1 1/2 cup flour with the beer in a medium bowl using a wooden spoon, then allow this mixture to rest at room temperature for at least 3 hours.
  2. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a small bowl. In another bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Warm the vegetable oil in a suitable pan until it reaches 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  4. Take each vegetable piece and coat it first in the egg mixture, then dredge it in the seasoned flour, and finally dip it into the prepared beer batter. Fry the coated vegetables in batches in the hot oil until they turn a golden brown colour. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any extra oil before serving straight away.
