Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces cod fillets
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 large egg
- 1.25 cups cold light beer
- 4 cups vegetable oil
- 1 whole (for serving) lemon wedges
Instructions
Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels to ensure the batter adheres better.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Whisk together until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg and then add the cold light beer. Stir until combined.
Gradually whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients to form a smooth batter. Be careful not to overmix.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C).
Dip each cod fillet into the batter, letting any excess drip off, and carefully place it into the hot oil.
Fry the cod in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan, for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until the batter is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried cod fillets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fish.
