Beer Batter Fish
Now you can make the same fish as you get in pubs when you order Fish & Chips. The beer in the batter gives more flavour and a lighter texture than regular batter.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups self-raising flour
- 1 egg, lightly whisked
- 1½ cups chilled light beer
- salt
- black pepper
- vegetable oil
- 8 white fish fillets, about 120g each
Instructions
- In a large pot, add enough vegetable oil to deep fry. Heat on stovetop to a medium-high temperature.
- Sift flour into a bowl.
- Add egg, beer, salt and pepper. Whisk together.
- Cook fish in batches of two at a time. Dip fish into batter mixture and add into pot to fry. Turn fish halfway through the cooking to ensure an even colour in the batter. Once golden brown, remove and drain fish on a plate with absorbent paper towels. Serve while hot.
