Deep-Fried Green Beans
1 pound green beans, trimmed
4 cups peanut oil
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 tsp. Ground black pepper
3/4 cup water
2 large eggs
Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain. Cool in bowl of ice water. Drain again. Heat oil in deep fryer or large saucepan over medium-high heat to 350 F. Combine flour, 3/4 cup water, eggs, baking powder, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper in large bowl; whisk until smooth batter forms. Dip 6 beans at a time into batter; shake off excess. Add to hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 4 minutes per batch. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with more salt and serve hot.
