Ingredients

• 4 pieces haddock fillets
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup beer
• 4 cups vegetable oil
• 4 pieces lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly and then add it to the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Gradually pour the beer into the flour mixture while gently whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Pat the haddock fillets dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 5

Pour the vegetable oil into a large deep pot or deep fryer and heat it to 375°F (190°C).

Step 6

Dip each haddock fillet into the batter, ensuring the fish is completely coated.

Step 7

Carefully place the battered haddock into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Step 8

Fry the fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Remove the fillets from the oil and drain them on a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the beer battered haddock hot with lemon wedges. Add tartar sauce and fries for a classic touch.
