Ingredients

• 4 pieces White fish fillets (such as cod or haddock)
• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Gluten-free beer
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season the fillets on both sides with a little salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a large deep skillet or Dutch oven, preheat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). It's important to maintain this temperature to ensure a crispy batter.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the gluten-free beer slowly, whisking constantly until you have a smooth, thick batter. Set aside while you prepare the fish.

Step 4

Lightly coat the fish fillets in cornstarch, shaking off any excess. This step helps the batter adhere better to the fish.

Step 5

Dip the cornstarch-dusted fillets into the batter, making sure they are fully coated.

Step 6

Carefully place the battered fillets in the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry each batch for about 4-5 minutes per side, until the fish is golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the fish from the oil, letting the excess oil drain back into the pan. Place the fish on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 8

Serve the gluten-free beer battered fish hot with lemon wedges on the side.
