Beer Battered Fish

This is another super simple recipe with minimum ingredients. It can also be used as a batter for other things such as chicken (I do chicken nuggets) or vegetables. The recipe is easily doubled or tripled. It goes great with our Cole Slaw and fried potatoes.

Ingredients

• 1½ cups Batter Mix (recipe below)

• 1 pound fish fillets, fresh or thawed if frozen

• ¼ cup lemon juice

• ¾ cup beer

• Peanut oil or oil of choice

Prepare Batter mix.

Instructions

1. Pat fish dry; coat with Batter Mix, about ½ cup total. Lay on rack.

2. Combine remaining Batter Mix, lemon juice and beer; mix well.

3. Dip fish in batter and fry in hot oil until golden brown; drain.

4. Serve with Tartar Sauce.

Batter Mix

The baking powder keeps the batter light and crispy.

• 1½ cups plain unsifted flour

• 2¼ tsp baking powder

• 1 tsp salt

• ¾ tsp baking soda

Instructions

Combine all ingredients with a whisk in a medium bowl.

Options

1. Use thin slices of chicken instead of fish.
