Beer Batter
- Ingredients
- Fresh or thawed corn-on-the-cob ears
- 1/2 cup corn meal (enough to make a thick batter)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup pilsner beer
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- Sea salt and black pepper, if desired
- Coating mixture (see recipe below)
- Directions
- Preheat peanut oil or other oil to 375 degrees F in a deep fat fryer or deep heavy dutch oven. Combine the cornmeal, buttermilk, beer, and eggs to make a batter. Dip corn-on-the-cob ears into cornmeal batter to coat. Roll in coating mixture. With cooking tongs, holding at a distance, slowly place a few ears of corn in hot oil, 1 at a time. Fry about 3 minutes per ear or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with corn holders in each end and in corn dishes (if you have them) while hot. Season as desired with sea salt and black pepper.
