Crispy Fish Batter Recipe 🐟✨
"A light, golden batter that gives your fish the perfect crunch every time. Simple to make and absolutely delicious!"
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch (for extra crispiness)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for flavor)
- 1 cup cold sparkling water (or cold beer for a beer-batter twist)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia work well)
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Fish
- Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Season lightly with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
- Gradually whisk in the cold sparkling water or beer until the batter is smooth and slightly thick. Avoid overmixing to maintain the lightness.
Step 3: Heat the Oil
