How to Make Beer Batter Fish

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of beer and ½ cup of milk until well combined.
  2. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of all-purpose flour until a thick batter forms. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. Stir in 1 teaspoon of baking powder and ½ teaspoon of sugar.
  4. Cut your fish fillets into 2-inch pieces. Gently toss the fish pieces in the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
  5. Heat your deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the battered fish to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the fryer.
  6. 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.
  7. 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!
