Beer Batter for Fondue

Every New Years Eve growing up had us sitting around the kitchen table with two pots of oil, one for veggies and one for meat. Table would be littered with bowls of cubes and chunks of food to be speared and fried. Tradition also had at least two bowls of this batter. 3/4 cup Flour 1/4 cup Corn Starch 1 tsp Baking Powder 2 tsp Salt 1/4 tsp Nutmeg 1/4 cup beer* 2 eggs *Beer can be whatever you have in the fridge.

Season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to low. This sticks to the bottom of the pot easily, so I heated well and transfered to a crock pot to keep hot. Stir in the Cheddar and Parmesan cheese, and simmer for about 10 minutes. or In crockpot mix liquid and seasonings, throw the leftovers in the crockpot before work so supper is ready ...
