After countless videos, books, and let downs I have achieved batter perfection. Use this on anything, makes amazing onion rings, chicken etc. There is one missing component which is my personal meat seasoning but this is still mind-blowing without it. I may bring my seasoning to market it's winning National BBQ events all over but it's stupid expensive to make. I'm sending a select few some samples to try for more feedback. Anyway please give this a try it's so good I recommend an inexpensive fish like pollack if you don't catch your own, no need for spendy fish trust me.
Prep time bout 15 minutes
This makes a pretty big batch of batter you can definitely cut it in half for the average meal for 3 people.
-I strongly recommend peanut oil or beef tallow stabilized to at least 350. Give your oil a gradual heat and let everything stabilize you don't want your food to kill your temp when you drop it in. I use a cast iron dutch oven base
-Make sure your fish is thawed but cold frozen/icy fish turns to rubber.
-2 cups AP flour
-1/4 cup corn starch
-1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
-1/2 Tsp. Baking Powder
-Generous Tsp. onion powder or two
-Generous Tsp. Old Bay or preferred fish/meat seasoning or both. I add more or less of each depending on mood or what I'm cooking, can't really mess it up.
-Mix all the shit together really well
-Check oil temp
-Crack open a 32oz. club soda or 16 for a half batch and add till you like the batter consistency. I shoot for thinish pancake batter.
-Put in fridge for 10 minutes this is important it let's the flour hydrate and the flavors meld.
-Pull it out give it another mix drop whatever your cooking in the batter
-Crank your heat source your food will easily drop your oil 50 or more degrees.
-let excess batter drip off or use a bunch everyone is different.
-Start frying!!
-3ish ounces of fish is usually 3ish minutes a side
-onion rings bout 3ish minutes total
-little lemon or whatever and done
If you follow this it should be super crunchy but perfectly tender. I highly recommend Old Bay it adds a flavor profile that makes it almost to easy to be that good
If you don't have old Bay or a preferred seasoning you can do this
-2C flour
-1/4 cup corn starch
-2 Tsp. Sugar
-1/2 Tsp. Baking Soda
-1/2 Tsp. Baking Powder
-2 Tsp salt ( only use 1 if using regular table salt)
Generous Tsp. Onion salt
-1/2 Tsp. Paprika regular or smoked
Dash of pepper
Add club soda like above
