Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup cornstarch
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup gluten-free beer
- 4 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.
Crack the egg into the dry ingredients and add the gluten-free beer slowly while whisking until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the batter for about 10 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly.
Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be deep enough to fully submerge the food you intend to fry.
Once the batter has rested, dip your choice of fish, chicken, or vegetables into the batter, ensuring an even coat.
Carefully place the battered item into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Fry each piece for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the batter is golden brown and the food is cooked through.
Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fried items from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free beer battered items hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
