Ingredients for Beer Batter Fish
- 1 cup beer (any light beer works well)
- ½ cup milk
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Baking Powder
- White Sugar
- Lemon Juice
How to Make Beer Batter Fish
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of beer and ½ cup of milk until well combined.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of all-purpose flour until a thick batter forms. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of sugar.
- Cut your fish fillets into 2-inch pieces. Gently toss the fish pieces in the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Heat your deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the battered fish to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer.
- Fry the fish for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- If the batter becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Remember, you want a thick batter for that extra crispy coating!
