Deep Fried Beer

Yep, I did it. I kept warning people I’d do it.

Did it.

As soon as you say this is ridiculous, let me point out that Yahoo! recently featured a deep-fried burger made of bacon meat. The whole “let’s see what we can deep fry trend” officially hit surreality when the Texas State Fair had a snack called “Fried Coke.”

This is the next logical step, and just in time for the Super Bowl.

LET’S FRY US SOME BEER!!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Gochugaru (Korean Red Chile Powder)
  • 1 cup Beer (your favorite brand)

Mix all this together while heating some oil for deep frying. I’ve tried different ways to fry this. I originally wanted to make it like a funnel cake.

Turned into fried rabbit pellets. In the end, I used a ladle and gently placed the batter in a dollop at a time.

After a while, I turned the globules over to let them cook on the other side.

I drained them and put them on a plate with some Welsh Rabbit cheese sauce and some green onions for color.

That’s it. It’s easy, fast and you and everyone will be so drunk during the Super Bowl that you’ll eat it.

If you want you can get all fancy and architectural with it, like I tend to do while cooking under the influence.

    I’ve got to say that I’m glad I’ll be out of the country and on a big cruise ship while you’re deep frying beer.

    Ugh…

    I saw Paula Deen make deep fried butter once. Scoops of butter that were battered and fried. Really, where are we going with all this?

    Came here from eGullet. No offense, but this was a bit anticlimactic.

    I can’t believe nobody has asked… How did it taste??
    I’m assuming you wouldn’t be able to taste any of the beer at all. I’d think the egg would overpower the beer.

    The taste depends on your level of inebriation.

    More like the little crunchy pellets at the bottom of a Captain D’s box (which I love).

    Mmm…I love the crunchy pellets too. I prefer the ones from Long John Silver’s though.
