  • 130 g flour
  • 170 ml beer — cold
  • 2 teaspoons of baking powder
  • 700 ml sunflower oil
  • salt

Instructions

0

Make sure the cod pieces do not contain excess water. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Sprinkle salt on each piece of cod.

1

Place a large food bag in the bowl and weigh the flour into it. Place the bag in the freezer for 15 minutes.

2

Heat the oil to 180°C in a deep saucepan or a deep fryer.

3

Insert the butterfly whisk into the bowl. Add the cold flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, then mix for 10 seconds at speed 2.

4

Add the beer and mix for 2 minutes/speed 3, until smooth. Remove the butterfly whisk. Use the batter immediately: dip the fish fillets into the batter, then carefully place them in the hot oil and deep-fry for 8–10 minutes, until golden and cooked through. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

5

Serve with French fries, and add a squeeze of lemon over the fish for extra freshness.
