Ingredients

Directions

  1. Open the beer and let it sit at room temperature overnight to go completely flat, then chill it thoroughly before use.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the chilled flat beer, cold water, oil, and eggs until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, 1 1/2 teaspoons of pepper, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of garlic powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 2 cups of shredded coconut into the batter, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
  6. Slice one 12 oz can of Spam or Spam Lite into 1-inch wide strips.
  7. Heat oil in a deep fryer or large heavy pot to 350ðF (175ðC).
  8. Dip each Spam strip into the coconut beer batter, coating it completely.
  9. Carefully place the battered strips into the hot oil and fry until they float to the surface and are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.
  10. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.
  11. In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of raspberry sauce or jelly with 3 tablespoons of horseradish sauce to create the dipping sauce.
  12. Serve the hot coconut beer battered Spam strips immediately with the raspberry horseradish sauce on the side for dipping.
