directions
- Preheat oil to 375° for fish -- 350° for other.**.
- Mix all ingredients together until very thin & smooth. (You may not need the entire bottle/can of beer, so drink the rest if you want to.hate to see good beer wasted. LOL!).
- Batter should be thin, but NOT runny -- adjust amounts accordingly.
- Fish should be thawed & patted dry.
- Dust the fish or whatever with DRY batter mix (Plain flour will work, too).
- Dip into beer batter until completely coated.
- Place into hot oil,.BE CAREFUL so you don't burn yourself!
- Fry in small batches until golden brown, turning once -- fish should take about 5-7 minutes, depending on thickness -- onion rings should take about 3-5 minutes total -- cheese curds take only 1-+/- minute.
- Drain on paper towel.
- Serve with your favorite Tartar Sauce & ENJOY!
- *NOTE: When deep frying cheese curds, it's best to put them in the freezer for AT LEAST 2 hours before deep frying.
- **NOTE II: If using a deep fryer,."FOLLOW MGFr's DIRECTIONS". A fry pot with hot oil should be NO MORE than 1/3 full to prevent accidents!

Holy Cheese Curds! This was so easy and so tasty...I brought home a bag of cheddar cheese curds from my recent trip to Verona/Madison and wanted DH to taste my favorite Wisconsin treat. I used Hungry Jack mix as well and did toss in a little garlic powder and cajun seasoning. Perfectly golden in about 30 seconds, light, crispy and oh so good. Dipped in ranch and really enjoyed our treat- thanks! -
Great beer batter! I used regular Hungry Jack pancake mix and added some garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, paprika, and white pepper. I used the batter for deep-fried mushrooms. I will certainly make this again for fish as the family really enjoyed it with the 'shrooms. Thanks for sharing!
