For a traditional beer batter use beer or lager instead of water.
Suitable for coating sweet and savoury foods - fruit or vegetables.
For a flavoured batter add spice such as - cumin, curry powder cinnamon, paprika or nutmeg.
Dip fish in seasoned flour before you batter to give a more even coating.
