1 egg |
1 cup of all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon melted butter |

1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans (leave whole, wash and remove tips) |
vegetable oil (or shortening) for frying |
Directions:
1. Into your blender container, add beer, egg, flour, butter, and salt. (You can also use a food processor or hand mixer and a bowl, if you prefer).
2. Blend until smooth.
3. Leave the beer batter set, covered for a few hours before using.
4. Dip your prepared green beans into the beer batter to coat them evenly on all sides. Make sure they are completely dried after washing or the batter will slide off.
