Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Cod fillets
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 cup Dairy-free beer
- for frying Vegetable oil
Instructions
Cut your cod fillets into four equal pieces and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Gradually pour the dairy-free beer into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and has no lumps. The batter should have the consistency of pancake batter.
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. The oil should reach about 350°F (175°C).
Dip each piece of cod into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.
Carefully lower the battered cod into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan to maintain the oil's temperature.
Fry the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the batter is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the cod should reach 145°F (63°C).
Remove the cooked fish using a slotted spoon and let it drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining pieces of cod.
Serve the dairy-free beer-battered cod immediately, with lemon wedges or your choice of dipping sauces.
