Beer batter for crispy frying
Put 350 ml of cold lager beer in a bowl, put 2 pinches of salt and - little by little - add 200 g of flour 0 and mix with a whisk to avoid forming lumps until you have obtained a soft batter.
If it is too thick, add more beer or cold water, if it is too liquid, add a tablespoon of flour.
At this point, all you have to do is dip the ingredients you want to prepare in the batter (artichokes, carrots, potatoes, apples, etc.) and fry them in plenty of peanut oil, drain and serve.
