Gradually add 1 cup of beer to the dry mixture until a smooth batter forms.

Heat vegetable oil to about 280°F.

Dip each cauliflower floret into the batter, coating thoroughly.

Fry cauliflower florets for about 8.5 to 9 minutes until crispy.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

In a separate bowl, mix melted butter, 3/4 cup hot sauce, 1.5 tablespoons white vinegar, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce to make buffalo sauce.

Toss the fried cauliflower in the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
