By MelanieAnn

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup rice flour
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup beer **DO NOT not use a dark beer!**
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl whisk beer with the rice flour until very smooth.

Add in salt and garlic powder and cayenne (if using).

Let sit out at room temperature for 10 minutes.

Heat oil to 375 degrees.

Dredge the fish or veggies into the batter coating completely with batter, letting any excess drip off.

Deep-fry turning once until golden (about 3 minutes).

Transfer to a piece of brown paper (a brown paper bag will do for this!).
