Ingredients

• 2 qt. peanut or corn oil
• 2 cup flour, sifted
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. black pepper
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1 cup lager, golden ale or pale ale, cold

• 4 Turano French Rolls, toasted
• 1 tomato, sliced
• 1 cup lettuce, shredded
• Tartar sauce and malt vinegar, if desired


Directions

① Heat oil to 350°F in a medium-to-large pot (oil should be at least three inches deep).
② In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
