TGI Fry-Day: Burger Blowout
What's better than a good Whitecastle belly buster? A deep fried White Castle belly buster, aka the cheeseburger blowout.
The key to making this work is frozen White Castle cheeseburgers since otherwise it would be extremely difficult to get the bun and meat to stay together.
Begin by heating your deep fryer or pot of oil to approximately 375 degrees. After whipping up a quick beer batter (a recipe can be found here), quickly remove the burgers from the wrapper and dip in batter, coating entirely. Remove and gently drop into oil.
Fry for approximately 10 minutes, flipping occasionally, until crust is golden brown. Assuming you have coated it well, the burger will actually float like a doughnut. This is key to ensuring the bun stays soft and moist instead of becoming a grease sponge.
Remove, shaking off excess grease (as if it matters at this point), dry on paper towels and serve.
