Fish And Chips Recipe

Fish and Chips

From lacrenshaw 16 years ago

Submitted by Dan to allrecipes, this is another dish I have always had problems mastering. Maybe this time, huh?

Place potatoes in medium sized bowl of cold water.
In separate medium bowl mix together flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.
Stir in milk and egg until smooth.
Allow mixture to stand for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oil in a large pot or electric skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Fry potatoes in hot oil until tender.
Drain on paper towels.
Dredge fish in the batter, one piece at a time and place in hot oil.
Fry until fish is golden brown.
If necessary, increase heat to maintain the 350 degree F/175 degree C temperature.
Drain fish well on paper towels.
Fry potatoes again for 1 to 2 minutes for added crispness.

Thanks L, it IS difficult to master this one, one thing I've always done is to use a candy thermometer whilst frying. Keeping that temperature up is all-important, it seems. And you know how some recipes for frying things call for dredging in club soda? I use beer in mine. I think that having something carbonated in the mix helps sometimes as a binder. Great post, and always one of my fav's.
