Ingredients

• 4 pieces Cod fillets
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 cup Dairy-free beer
• 0 for frying Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Cut your cod fillets into four equal pieces and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

Gradually pour the dairy-free beer into the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and has no lumps. The batter should have the consistency of pancake batter.

Step 4

Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat. The oil should reach about 350°F (175°C).

Step 5

Dip each piece of cod into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.

Step 6

Carefully lower the battered cod into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan to maintain the oil's temperature.

Step 7

Fry the fish for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the batter is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the cod should reach 145°F (63°C).

Step 8

Remove the cooked fish using a slotted spoon and let it drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 9

Repeat the frying process with the remaining pieces of cod.

Step 10

Serve the dairy-free beer-battered cod immediately, with lemon wedges or your choice of dipping sauces.
