Ingredients

• 4 pieces Cod fillets
• 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 bottle Gluten-free beer
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 0 for frying Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Pat the cod fillets dry with paper towels. This helps the batter stick to the fish.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.

Step 3

Pour the gluten-free beer gradually into the dry ingredients while stirring. Mix until the batter is smooth and has no lumps. The batter should be slightly thick but still pourable.

Step 4

Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Use enough oil to completely submerge the fish.

Step 5

Dip each cod fillet into the beer batter, coating it thoroughly. Let any excess batter drip back into the bowl.

Step 6

Carefully place the battered cod into the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry each fillet for about 4-5 minutes, or until the batter is golden brown and the fish is cooked through.

Step 7

Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the fish from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite dipping sauce.
