Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1.25 cups Non-alcoholic beer
- 4 pieces White fish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk the dry ingredients together until well incorporated.
Gradually pour the non-alcoholic beer into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to create a smooth, lump-free batter. The consistency should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If needed, add a small amount of additional non-alcoholic beer or water to adjust the thickness.
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the batter adhere to the fish. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature for consistent frying.
Dip each fish fillet into the batter, ensuring it is completely coated. Let any excess batter drip off before carefully placing the fillets into the hot oil.
Fry the fish in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Cook each fillet for 4-5 minutes, or until the batter is golden brown and crispy, and the fish is cooked through.
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the fried fish from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the fish immediately while hot and crispy. Pair it with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, or your favorite side dishes like fries or coleslaw.
