1 c. flour
1/2 c. cornstarch
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. beer (can use water or milk), beer gives the batter better flavor

Stir together flour, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk in cold beer. Cover and refrigerate one hour, then whisk again before dipping fish or chicken. Immediately pan-fry the fish or chicken in a small amount of oil until golden and crisp, turning once, or deep fry. This batter can be used on vegetables also.
