Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces haddock fillets
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup beer
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly and then add it to the dry ingredients.
Gradually pour the beer into the flour mixture while gently whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Pat the haddock fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Pour the vegetable oil into a large deep pot or deep fryer and heat it to 375°F (190°C).
Dip each haddock fillet into the batter, ensuring the fish is completely coated.
Carefully place the battered haddock into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the fillets from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
Serve the beer battered haddock hot with lemon wedges. Add tartar sauce and fries for a classic touch.
