Our beer batter recipe gives your fried foods a thin but extremely crispy shell.

Our beer batter for fish and chips uses two secret ingredients: low-gluten cake flour for a lighter, more delicate crust and a small amount of vodka. The vodka isn't added for flavor, it's added because alcohol evaporates far more easily than water, which helps our beer batter cook much faster in the fryer. This means that you get a crisp batter-coating before the fish inside has been overcooked.
