I can't make it to the festival every year but I never miss getting my fill of deep fried asparagus when it's in season.

Ingredients

2 cups peanut oil, or as needed
¾ cup flour
⅔ cup cold flat beer
½ cup cornstarch
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground white pepper
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon celery salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 pounds asparagus, ends trimmed
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Heat peanut oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Mix flour, beer, cornstarch, egg whites, baking powder, white pepper, baking soda, celery salt, and black pepper together in a bowl with a wire whisk to form the batter.
Dip asparagus spears individually in the batter and place carefully in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Dust fried asparagus with Parmesan cheese.

Cook's Notes:

7 Up(R), Mountain Dew(R), or water can be used in place of beer.

This batter is good for all kinds of veggies, including onions, zucchini, and cauliflower.
