Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.25 cup coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup low-carb beer (or club soda for an alcohol-free option)
• 2 cups frying oil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk together until well combined.

Step 2

Crack the egg into the dry ingredients and mix lightly.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the low-carb beer or club soda, whisking constantly, until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still pourable.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the ingredients to fully hydrate and the bubbles from the beer to develop.

Step 5

While the batter is resting, heat the oil in a deep-fryer or a large, deep saucepan to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil maintains this temperature for optimal frying.

Step 6

Prepare your desired ingredients for frying, such as fish, shrimp, vegetables, or cheese.

Step 7

Dip each piece of food into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then carefully place it into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy batter.

Step 8

Fry each piece for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried food to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces or sides.
