Guide to Cooking Food with American Summer Beers and Other Beers

Beer Sour Cream Sauce

(Delicious served with baked avocado and salmon, or over lean veal and eggplant, or on veal parmigiana.)
2cups beer
1 pint sour cream
1 ripe mashed avocado, blended well with no lumps
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup lemon juice or lime juice
1 small package of soft cream cheese

1 pimiento chopped
Salt & pepper to taste

Blend the sour cream, mashed avocado and soft cream cheese into the onion and garlic powder. Add pimiento, lemon juice. Blend together. Gradually beat in the beer, using enough to achieve a thick cream sauce consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste. Blend in enough beer so that the sauce is thick and creamy and stands in peaks when beaten. Serve over any meal to highlight it and bring out the utmost flavor.

Note: By leaving out the avocado, salt and pepper and pimiento, and by adding 1/4 to 1/3 cup honey, champagne sour cream sauce may be used to spread on cake or heap on fresh fruit as a delightful champagne cream sauce. If you have remaining beer left over, use in place of water in baking a cake or blend in with cooked food.

Beer Pancake Batter

(Excellent for coating fried chicken, fish, cutlets, vegetables and chops or fried fruit.)
1 cup dark, whole-grained flour
1 cup lukewarm beer
2 egg whites
Spices of your choice or lemon juice

Spices can be: pepper, thyme, rosemary, basil, oregano, cumin, curry powder, saffron, parsley flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger (with ginger beer), dill, etc. depending on what use you have for batter-fried chicken, pancakes, fried eggplant, zucchini, fish, chops, etc.
Sift flour, beat lukewarm beer gradually into the sifted flour and (optional) spice. Whisk until frothy. Leave until required for use. The success of a good batter is in mixing cold air into a smoothly-blended batter. The mixture must be well beaten.

Beer Batter

Use batter to fry into pancakes and serve with strawberries and champagne topping, or dip fruit such as pineapple, apples (in rings), bananas, pomegranates, etc. and fry batter-dipped fruit in deep fry pan in light safflower oil.

Use spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and honey to sweeten batter and serve with berries or other fruit and whipped "creme" made from evaporated skim milk.

Also use beer batter to coat fried foods in deep fry cooker. Use beer batter to try poultry and fish, sweet, heavier beer or ale batter to fry fruits, or use as a pancake in making
