Fish and Chips

Nothing I like better than fish and chips. Here is my fish batter recipe. It has been modified.

Beer Batter for Fish

One egg

Beer (If you want a really thick batter that will puff up like crazy use about a half can of beer. I use almost the whole can and I still get a pretty fluffy crust on the fish)

1/2 cup milk

1 1/3 cup of pastry flour or regular flour (I use regular flour.)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons cornstarch

Salt to taste

Ground black pepper to taste

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 pound of cod or haddock fillets

 In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cornstarch.

In a large bowl, beat together eggs and milk. Mix in beer. Stir in flour mixture. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

In a deep fryer heat oil to 375°. Coat fish with batter and submerge slowly in hot oil. Fry until golden brown about 4 to 5 minutes. I flip it at the half way point.
