Use this all-purpose batter to coat and fry fish, chicken or even halloumi. The liquid portion could be made using tap water, sparkling water or even beer

Provided by Charlotte Pike

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 3

250g self-raising flour
300ml cold water
1L sunflower or vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Take a large mixing bowl and add the flour and ½ tsp fine salt. Whisk together to incorporate the salt. Add the water and whisk until the batter is completely smooth and the flour is fully combined.
  • Take the oil and pour into a large, sturdy saucepan with high sides. Heat over a high heat until it reaches 200C. To fry your ingredients, dip them in the batter, allowing any excess to run off, and carefully place into the hot oil. Fry until the batter is a rich, golden brown and crisp. The fried ingredients will likely float on top of the oil when cooked, too. Remove from the oil using a slotted spoon and blot on kitchen towel before serving. Sprinkle with a little flaky sea salt to keep crisp. The batter does not keep well and is best made just before using.

Tips:

  • For a crispy batter, use cold beer or sparkling water. The carbonation will help create air pockets, which will make the batter light and fluffy.
  • Make sure the fish is dry before dipping it in the batter. This will help the batter adhere to the fish and prevent it from falling off.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To check if the fish is cooked, insert a fork into the thickest part of the fish. If it flakes easily, it is cooked through.
  • Serve the fish immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include tartar sauce, remoulade, and malt vinegar.

Conclusion:

Making a simple fish batter is a great way to enjoy delicious, crispy fish at home. With just a few ingredients and a few simple steps, you can create a batter that will make your fish the star of the show. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this simple fish batter a try.
