KERRY GOLDEN DIPT

PRE-DIP BATTER MIX

(415450 – 6/5 lb)

A just add water, shelf stable batter that is a superior alternative to traditional egg and buttermilk wash used in the hand breading process. One case yields the equivalent of 15 gallons of buttermilk combined with 15 dozen eggs and provides far more versatility and enhanced coating coverage. Make it thicker or thinner (depending on the application needs) simply by adding more or less water. The subtle buttermilk flavor profile makes it the perfect vehicle to customize the product by using different liquids to hydrate the batter or adding spices and seasonings to the mix for a truly unique dish.
