Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 4 -6 fish fillets
• 3/4 cup flour
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup water

Recipe

• 1 sift dry ingredients.
• 2 add water and mix well. whisk until you have a smooth batter, if needed add a bit more water but do not make it too thin. (or use some beer if you like too.my up date1968).
• 3 use to coat fish or chicken filets. (not too thick or thin on the coating).
• 4 cover the fish completely.
• 5 deep fry until a nice golden brown.
• 6 some tip's: if you didn't have a deep-fryer to fry the fish in, a shallow fry pan can be use, and add some oil to the pan, and i was all way surprised the batter stayed on the fish. excellent!
• 7 i did some chicken tenders, then some fresh flounder fillets, then some shrimp. it was all incredible! next time i will make some hush puppies, and it will be just like eating at the restaurant!
• 8 this really was an excellent batter. i made it up an hour before i used it as i have heard that this makes batter 'stick' better to whatever you're frying. anyway, it stuck. light, crisp and not greasy.
• 9 for fun i tried this on onion rings and i took some sweet banana peppers and split them and removed the seeds and battered them and fried to a golden brown, excellent. i think you could batter any thing with this recipe. thank's dad !
• 10 note: after reading some of the other reviews, they stated the batter was to running. i added a 1/2 cup of corn meal to the batter, also some garlic & onion powder to taste and/or fish seasoning. i also let the fish sit in the batter for 30 minute this made the batter a bit thicker on the fish and made it stick well. my entire family loved this recipe. i am also expected to make this recipe for my neighbor. she buys the fish i cook it. we now have an awesome batter for our fish. we all love it.
