Cooking Time: 10 min
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups pancake mix
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 cup beer
1 egg
Peanut oil for frying
2 1/2 pounds white-fleshed fillets, cut into 2-inch pieces
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine pancake mix, sugar, salt, cayenne pepper, beer, and egg; mix well.
- Heat 1 inch of oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
- Dip fish pieces into batter, coating completely, then fry in oil 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until coating is golden and fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Drain on a paper towel-lined platter. Serve immediately.
Notes
You can substitute club soda for the beer, if you prefer. If batter begins to thicken, just add a bit more liquid.
We suggest serving this with our "Grate" Carrot Salad as a refreshing side!
