ALMOST as vital as green beer, Beer Battered Fish and Chips is next up on the list. Be inspired this St. Patrick’s Day with Chef Agnew’s Beer Batter for Fish!
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups cornstarch
- Two 12-ounce beer (ale, larger or dark beer if preferred )
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup all purpose flour or cornstarch for dredging
- For the Batter: Whisk together flour, cornstarch, beer, egg, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Make sure there are no lumps. Cover bowl and place in fridge for at least 20 minutes, and up to 3 hours before batter will be used.
- Tips:
- Batter should be the consistency of heavy cream, don’t be afraid of trial and error
- Dredging : Always pat dry fish fillets or other items you may be frying before dredging into all purpose flour or cornstarch. Also tap off excess dredging flour before dipping into batter.
