Ingredients

• 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup cornstarch
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup gluten-free beer
• 4 cups vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well combined.

Step 2

Crack the egg into the dry ingredients and add the gluten-free beer slowly while whisking until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.

Step 3

Cover the bowl and refrigerate the batter for about 10 minutes to allow it to thicken slightly.

Step 4

Meanwhile, heat the vegetable oil in a large deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). The oil should be deep enough to fully submerge the food you intend to fry.

Step 5

Once the batter has rested, dip your choice of fish, chicken, or vegetables into the batter, ensuring an even coat.

Step 6

Carefully place the battered item into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.

Step 7

Fry each piece for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the batter is golden brown and the food is cooked through.

Step 8

Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the fried items from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 9

Serve the gluten-free beer battered items hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
