     1 c  Plus 2 tb beer
     1 c  All-purpose flour
   1/2 ts Table salt
   1/2 ts Freshly ground pepper
   Vegetable oil for

 In a blender blend the beer, the flour, the table salt, and the
 pepper for 20 seconds, or until the batter is smooth, transfer the
 batter to a bowl, and let it stand, covered, for 1 hour.

 In a large deep skillet heat 1 inch of the oil until it registers
 360F. on a deep-fat thermometer. Dip each leaf into the batter,
 coating it thoroughly and knocking off the excess batter on the
 side of the bowl, and fry it in the oil for 30 seconds on each
 side, or until it is golden. Transfer the kale as it is fried to
 paper towels to drain and sprinkle it lightly with the coarse
 salt. Serve the kale with the lemon wedges.
