Breading: Panko


Bread Crumb


Same    as  for
standard
breading.

Panko   crumbs  have
tons of surface,
area, leading to
exceptionally crisp
coatings.

Batter: Beer Seasoned


(sometimes
leavened) flour
is mixed with
beer (and
sometimes
eggs) to create
a thick
pancake-like
batter (the beer
promotes
browning,

Great   flavor.Thick,
thus good at
protecting delicate
foods (like
fish).Easy to make
and relatively
stable after
mixing.Very slow
oil breakdown if
plain (no second
flour dredge).
