Crispy Beer-Battered Cauliflower

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Beer-Battered Cauliflower.

1. Step 1

   Start by heating vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large saucepan until it reaches a sizzling 375°F (190°C).

2. Step 2

   While the oil is warming up, preheat your oven to a cozy 200°F (95°C) to keep your delicious fried cauliflower warm and ready to enjoy.

3. Step 3

   In a mixing bowl, combine self-rising flour, beer, ground black pepper, and salt, whisking them together until you have a smooth and inviting batter.

   Now, it’s time to dip those cauliflower slices! Make sure each piece is generously coated in the batter for that perfect crunch.

5. Step 5

   Working in small batches of about ten pieces, gently drag each battered cauliflower slice against the rim of the bowl to shake off any excess batter.

6. Step 6

   This little trick helps achieve that ideal crispy texture.

7. Step 7

   Carefully lower the coated cauliflower into the hot oil, stirring gently to keep them from sticking together.

8. Step 8

   Fry them until they turn a beautiful golden brown, which should take about 2 to 4 minutes.

9. Step 9

   Once they’re perfectly crispy, use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried cauliflower to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to absorb any extra oil.
