Homemade Beer Battered Fish & Chips 🐟 🍟

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, mix the turmeric, cornflour, flour and baking powder together and season with salt and pepper. Remove a tablespoon or two from the mixture and store in a small bowl.

In a jug, combine the beer and water and slowly tip in the flour mixture while stirring to remove lumps. Once the batter is smooth leave to rest for an hour.

Peel the potatoes, slice and preheat the oven to 180C. Add the chips to a pan of boiling water, boil until they become slightly tender, drain and place on to a baking tray.

Drizzle oil over the chips, scatter a tablespoon or two of the flour mixture and toss, making sure the chips are coated.

Place in the oven for half an hour, turning every 10 minutes until golden brown.

Pour vegetable oil in to a large saucepan, heat, dry the fish and toss in the flour mixture. Carefully add the fish to the vegetable oil and fry for 8 minutes or until golden brown.

Carefully remove the fish from the oil, pat with kitchen towel to remove excess oil and season with salt.
