Gluten Free Beer Battered Fried Fish Food

GLUTEN FREE BEER BATTERED FISH

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy bottom pot or a deep fryer until 365 degrees F.
• Rinse the fish and pat it dry.
• Place 1/2 cup brown rice flour in one bowl. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the batter ingredients. The batter will be fairly thin, that's alright, it will work just fine.
• Working one at a time, dip the fish fillets into the rice flour, then into the batter, and then carefully place it in the hot oil. You shouldn't overcrowd your pot - only fry a few pieces of fish at time.
• Fry fish, turning once, until both sides are a golden brown (about 2 minutes per side). Drain on a paper towel lined baking sheet, and serve while still warm.

Steps:

• Put flour, seasoning salt, garlic powder and paprika into a large bowl and whisk to combine.
• Add beer and 1/4 cup water and whisk to make a smooth batter.
• Pour the oil into a large heavy pot to a depth of 2" and heat over medium high heat until temperature registers 350 F on a deep fry thermometer.
• Working in batches, dust the fish with cornstarch lightly, dip the fish into the batter, shaking off some of the excess, and fry, turning occasionally, until cooked through and deep golden brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the fried fish to a rack to drain.

GLUTEN-FREE BEER-BATTERED FRIED FISH

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
• Add gluten-free beer or club soda and mix until the batter is smooth and not too thick or too thin. Add more liquid if the batter is too thick (it should be a bit runny, but you shouldn't be able to see the fish through it).
• Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet to 375 F. If you don't have a thermometer, you can tell if the oil is hot enough when bubbles form around a chopstick or skewer when it is placed in the oil.
• When the oil has come up to temperature, dip the fillets in the batter one at a time making sure both sides are coated. Hold above the bowl to let excess batter drip off.
• Carefully place fish in the hot oil and fry for 3 minutes or until the batter has set. Fry the fish in batches of 2 to 4 pieces at a time, depending on the size of the skillet.
• Using a spatula, turn and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. If you have an infrared thermometer, use it to check the fish, which should be at 145 F (a conventional instant-read thermometer won't work because the fish is too thin to take an accurate temperature). Otherwise, take a peek inside with a thin knife. The fish should be white and opaque when done.
• To keep the first batch warm while you fry the remaining fillets, transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and place in a heated 250 F oven for up to 20 minutes. Finish frying the rest of the fish.
• Drain on paper towels and serve while still warm.
