There is nothing quite as satisfying as that first crispy, golden-brown bite. This collection is all about mastering the art of the fry, from light and airy beer-battered fish to perfectly breaded favorites. These recipes focus on maintaining a clean, light texture so you get all of the crunch with none of the grease.
