About

Some thick batters, for example fritter batters that are used to coat other items, are lightened by adding beer or by folding in whisked egg whites.

Adding liquid Make a smooth, thick batter, beating in beer with the egg yolks. The batter should be thick, with a dropping, not pouring, consistency.

Adding egg whites Whisk the egg whites until stiff. Stir about a quarter of the whites into the batter. Then fold in the remaining whites and use the batter immediately.
