Fish Fry Batter
Source of Recipe
By Glenna Anderson Muse
Recipe Introduction
For the fish, I used nice thick cod fillets cut in generous "sticks", rinsed and dried them, rolled them in flour, and then dipped them into the following batter I threw together from what sounded good. I used King Arthur White Whole Wheat flour and a generous amount of cornstarch to keep the batter from being too bready and heavy. To fry, I used expeller-pressed canola oil and only enough to shallow fry, not deep fry them for a couple of minutes on each side. The fillets came out crispy and satisfying, crunchy like a restaurant fillet without being drenched in oil. the fish coating has the texture of Long John Silver's, "only this tastes better". I'll take that compliment
