Beer Batter

Shopping list (serves 4-6):

• 375 ml light beer
• 125 ml water
• ½ teaspoon bi-carb soda
• Self raising flour to consistency
• Salt and pepper

Method:

1. Pour the beer and water into a bowl. Add the bi-carb soda and whisk together.
2. Start adding the self raising flour to the liquid until you can do a figure of 8 and it will hold for three seconds before dispersing.
3. Season with salt & pepper. Let rest for 15 minutes before battering your fish.
4. Slightly flour your fish fillets, remove any excess flour. Holding the smallest end, drape the fish fillet through the batter, then let any excess batter drip off.
5. In a 180C pre heated deep fryer, add the thickest end and wait till it floats to the surface before slowly releasing the fillet.
6. Turn over once slightly browned, then cook other side until slightly browned then remove from oil and drain excess oil.
7. Serve with crispy roasted wedges and homemade tartare sauce
