Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. This helps the batter stick to the fish.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Pour the gluten-free beer gradually into the dry ingredients while stirring. Mix until the batter is smooth and has no lumps. The batter should be slightly thick but still pourable.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to completely submerge the fish.
Dip each cod fillet into the beer batter, coating it thoroughly. Let any excess batter drip back into the bowl.
Carefully place the battered cod into the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry each fillet for about 4-5 minutes, or until the batter is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the fish from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce.
