Fish In Beer Batter

Properly battered and fried fish is delectably moist and flaky on the inside and crispy on the outside. Serve with homemade French fries and malt vinegar for a classic pub meal.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup beer
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 (8-ounce) sole fillets
Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Cooking Directions:

1. In a large bowl mix flour and baking powder; stir in beer, egg, paprika, salt and garlic powder.
2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat until hot.
3. Season sole fillets with salt and pepper and dip in the batter, one by one; coating both sides. Put directly into the hot oil, without crowding, and fry for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and done.
4. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

Makes 4 servings.
