Bass or John Courage. You wouldn't want to use a very dark beer, which
would overwhelm the scallops. Or you could use a buttermilk batter
that I use on vegetables, but ought to work on scallops.@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format
Vegetable Buttermilk Batter
vegetables
1 egg
1 cup flour
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking sodaCombine ingredients and dredge vegetable in mixture. Fry at 375F.

Cheap stuff. It doesn't really matter unless you're looking for a specific
taste which, as nondrinkers, you probably aren't. Use the rest of the beer
to simmer your brats before grilling. ;-)Pam

subtle, fruity hops, if you can uhhhmm, find that! ',;~}~Oh, and I'd use half and half wheat flour and corn flour too, a bit like a
tempura batter.Shaun aRe

Here's my recipe for onion rings with a terrific beer batter - I
generally use a beer I would drink, although I don't usually drink beer
- Bud Light, the last time I made these:2 1/4 C. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
20-24 oz. room temperature beer
1 large white onionCut the rings, separate them and put them in ice water for at least 3
hours (use ice cubes and water, and put the container in the fridge).Oil temp should be at least 375 - in my big electric frypan, 400 worked
better because I cut the rings fairly thin.Drain the rings and shake them in a bag of flour until they're
well-coated. Submerse in the beer batter and drop in the oil. Fry
until light brown, turning once. Keep warm on a rack on a cookie sheet
in the oven - salt just before serving.I freeze these in a vacuum bag - they stay separated and I can take
several out at a time, put them in the toaster oven, and they're ready
to eat in less than 5 minutes.N.

HA! Bud Light isn't beer! Bleah! And I was absolutely astonished on my
last trip to England to see all the Buds in the pubs. <head shaking>that swill should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as beer. yuck.

it. It does the job without costing a ton. -

If one really isn't a beer drinker, and/or doesn't like the taste of
any beer, Bud Light does a fine job in a fry batter. ;-)N.
