FRIDAY
Ingredients
Fish:
- Oil for frying
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3 teaspoons salt plus more for seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 12-ounce can beer
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 2 8-ounce firm white fish, cut into 1 ½ inch fillets
Instructions
For the fish:
- Heat oil in a large deep skillet to 375 degrees (I like to use an electric skillet).
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Combine the beer and egg and pour into the flour mixture. Whisk to a smooth batter. Batter should be the consistency of pancake batter - if too thick, feel free to add a little more beer until you reach the desired consistency.
- Spread the remaining ½ cup of flour on a plate. Dredge the fish pieces in the flour and then dip them into the batter, letting the excess drip off.
- Add the fillets to frying pan and cook until coating turns brown and crispy and fillet is cooked through – about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt if desired.
