Batters

From the Kitchen of: Tyshee

Two excellent batters for fish or seafood's

Beer Batter
		Krusteaz brand pancake flour
		Budweiser beer

• The easiest and one of the best batters
• Just mix the two ingredients together to desired consistency but do not remove all lumps
• Thinner batter gives less crust -- thicker batter a heavier crust
• Use cubes of halibut, cod or salmon and deep fry. Serve with tartar sauce or cocktail sauce
• This recipe never fails as long as the cooking temperature is right and the fish pieces not too thick. There is no need to add salt as the batter seasons the fish well
• Used in many restaurants
