Saw a corn dog stand in Tulsa that changes the whole game
Stopped at this little fairground stand off Route 66 last Saturday. Guy was dunking whole jalapeno poppers in a beer batter, not the crumb coat. They came out with these crazy air pockets, super light crunch. He said he rests the batter 20 minutes before dipping. I tried it at home with a cheap thermometer and it worked way better than my usual thick paste. Anyone else mess with resting batter or is that just a carnival trick?
How thin was that batter after resting? I've tried the 20 minute thing before but mine always comes out too runny or still too thick depending on the flour. Wondering if he's using straight beer or cutting it with something.
