Ingredients:

  • 12 oz cheap beer
  • 1 1/2 cups ap flour
  • 3 or 4 medium to large eggplants , pared and 1/4 slice

Directions:

  1. Several hours prior to – or even the night before – cooking eggplant, whisk the flour and Old Bay Seasoning into the beer in a deep mixing bowl. Cover the bowl and leave out on the kitchen counter to ferment.
  2. When ready, generously salt the eggplant slices and let set for a while to leech the bitterness out of them. Pat dry.
  3. Preheat oven to 200F degrees. Have a paper towel-lined jelly roll pan ready to hold the finished eggplant slices.
  4. In a large cast iron skillet, heat about an inch of cooking oil to almost-but-not-quite-smoking.
  5. Using tongs, dip each eggplant slice into the batter, and then gently lower into the hot cooking oil. Do not overcrowd the pan, usually 4 or 5 slices at a time will work.
  6. As each batch finishes, place the slices on the towel-lined jelly roll pan in the oven to stay warm while you cook the remaining eggplant.
  7. Enjoy!!
