Ingredients:

Serving

batter
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 cup beer , or as needed
1 large egg
1 tsp salt or to taste
2 tbsp grated romano or parmesan cheese ( optional )
onions cut in thick rings
fish cut in even similar pieces
mushrooms. small ones over the large
veges like zuchinni: cut in equal sizes

Directions:

PLace flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
Add egg and 1 cup of beer and stir with whisk by hansd to make a waffle type consisitency batter
So you may either need a bit more flour or beer for the right texture
Set aside while you are cutting the veges etc
Batter can be prepared 30 minutes ahead and leave out at room temperature.
Heat oil to 375 or until wavy hot in the pot.
Dip food in batter to coat evenly
Test fry one item etc to see if the food browns correctly ( not to slow- too soggy or oily - not to fast, food too brown on outside and not cooked properly inside )
Properly fried the item will be golden and crisp and not soggy
Then fry several pieces at a time until golden and crispy- don't over crowd as you fry and also use a slotted spoon to turn and immerse food in oil if needed so all sides get cooked
Drain on absorbant paper and serve at once
Note: season your fish liberally before hand
Some moist veges may need a slight dusting of flour before dipping in the batter for best adherance of batter
