Seafood Batter Recipe

  Seafood

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 egg yolks, slightly beaten
1 cup flat beer (Pour beer into cup and let stand at room temperature about 1 hour)
2 egg whites, stiffly beaten

Directions:
Mix together flour, salt and pepper. Add oil and egg yolks and beat well. Stir in flat beer a little at a time, beating after each addition. Cover, place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight. Beat egg whites and fold in just before using batter.

To deep-fry fish: Wash and cut into desired portions. Pat dry with paper towels.

Heat oil to 375 degrees. Roll fish in plain flour, then dip into batter. Drop into oil a few pieces at a time. Do not overcrowd fryer. Cook 3 - 5 minutes, turning to fry evenly. Drain on paper towels. Serve with lemon wedges and tartar sauce.(This batter is excellant for frying prawns and scallops also).
