Recipe by John Mitzewich from allrecipes.com

Dinner 25 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 1 cup self-rising flour
  • 2 tablespoons rice flour
  • 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup lager-style beer, or more as needed
  • 4 (6 ounce) cod fillets, fully thawed if frozen
  • 2 tablespoons rice flour, or as needed
  • salt to taste
  • vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  • Start the batter: Whisk self-rising flour, rice flour, and baking powder together in a bowl. Freeze until ready to use.
  • Make the fish: Pat cod as dry as possible, then cut lengthwise into eight 1-inch-thick strips. Place rice flour on a plate and season with salt. Dust cod lightly with the rice flour mixture and shake off any excess. Cover a plate with crinkled foil to make a quick drying rack; place cod on top.
  • Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Finish the batter: Remove flour mixture from the freezer. Pour in beer and whisk until batter is the consistency of a thick pancake batter, adding more beer as needed.
  • Dip floured cod into the batter to coat; lift out and let excess drip off.
  • Fry cod in batches until golden brown, dunking occasionally if needed, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.
