Beer Batter Bacon
How can you go wrong when you include beer, bacon, and frying in a recipe. This one's for all you bacon lovers.
The thin batter gives the bacon a chance to cook. Make sure that you've got the oil heated to a medium temperature 325 degrees, or you'll just cook the batter without cooking the bacon inside.
1 Cup All-purpose Flour
1 Tablespoon Butt Kickin' Blacken, Original Recipe
1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
2 Bottles Sam Adams
10 Strips Thick-sliced Bacon
Vegetable Oil, for frying
1. Slice the bacon in half and set aside.
2. Mix the dry ingredients, then whisk in enough beer to make a fairly thin batter. I think you can figure out to do with any beer that might be left over. Nothing, ever goes to waste.
3. Place about 1/2" oil in a black frying pan, and heat to 325 degrees.
4. When the oil is 325, dip the bacon into the batter, hold it up by the end to let any excess batter drip off, then gently lay the bacon in the hot oil. The temperature of the oil should come down to about 300 degrees which is where you want it. If the oil is too hot, the bacon won't cook through.
5. Cook about 4 minutes per side, or, until the bacon is crispy, and the batter is well browned.
