Long John Silvers Deep Fry Batter

There’s nothing quite like the smell of fried fish. The crispy exterior, the flaky interior… it’s no wonder that fish fry is a popular dish around the world. And while there are many different recipes for fish fry batter, this is my personal favorite.

INGREDIENTS:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

4 tablespoons cornstarch

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups ginger ale

Heated for one minute in the microwave

DIRECTIONS:

Grab a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt

Pour in the heated ginger ale and mix together until everything is fully combined

Choose your favorite meat and coat it in the batter

Preheat a deep frying pan with enough oil to fully cover the meat to 350 degrees F
Check temperature before adding in meat or dropping a tiny bit of the batter to see if it immediately sizzles

Let meat/fish sit in the batter for a few minutes and make sure each piece is fully coated before adding to the fryer

Deep fry in canola oil till golden brown. Flip over after 3-5 minutes depending on your meat/fish choice for even crispiness

Serve hot,

Enjoy
