Crispy Fish Batter
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
2. Gradually add cold water or a carbonated beverage (such as club soda or beer) until a smooth batter forms. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
3. Dip fish fillets into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
4. Fry in hot oil (350°F/175°C) until golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes per side.
5. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
