Good ole fashioned English fish and chips batter. Just like mum used to make.

Well not really my mum, but my uncle who had a fish and chips shop. They actually used egg in the batter instead of beer, but thats another story and recipe for another day.. Today I made more traditional beer batter. Crispy crunchy light and delicious.

ingredients

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 bottle/can (12oz) beer
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

instructions

  1. Mix flour, baking powder and garlic powder if using.
  2. Mix in beer
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste
  4. Some people let batter stand for 1 -3 hours. I’ve noticed little difference using it right away. So use when is most convenient for you.
