Ingredients
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour,
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder,
- 1 large Egg
- 3/4 cup Club Soda,
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder,
- 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder,
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk the dry ingredients together to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
-
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the egg and gradually add the club soda while whisking to create a frothy mixture.
-
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes to ensure the coating adheres well to the fish.
-
Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Lightly season with a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor.
-
Dip each fillet into the batter, ensuring it’s evenly coated on all sides. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 375°F (190°C). Gently place the coated fish into the hot oil and fry for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
-
Remove the fish from the oil using a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as fries, coleslaw, or tartar sauce.
