Batter recipe

[osprey]

I'm looking for a good recipe for battering fish. I like crisp crunchy batter that doesn't go soggy quickly. Can anyone help?

Might be a bit of trial and error for you to get the best one that suits your tastes - have a look at http://www.astray.com/recipes/?search=batter and scroll to fish batter .

Beer batters tend to be a bit lighter so crispier - couple of options on the link as well.

Make sure the oil is really hot as well before you put anything in to cook, - do not over-crowd the fryer for both safety reasons and to make sure that the oil is not simply absorbed by the fish.

If you are cooking a couple of portions, better to do it one at a time and let the oil always return to temperature for a proper result before putting the next portion in.

i make one with plain flour, very cold fizzy water or beer and salt...its very light and crunchy...but as nickmo said make sure the oil is very hot.
