GLUTEN-FREE BEER-BATTERED FRIED FISH

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
• Add gluten-free beer or club soda and mix until the batter is smooth and not too thick or too thin. Add more liquid if the batter is too thick (it should be a bit runny, but you shouldn't be able to see the fish through it).
• Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet to 375 F. If you don't have a thermometer, you can tell if the oil is hot enough when bubbles form around a chopstick or skewer when it is placed in the oil.
• When the oil has come up to temperature, dip the fillets in the batter one at a time making sure both sides are coated. Hold above the bowl to let excess batter drip off.
• Carefully place fish in the hot oil and fry for 3 minutes or until the batter has set. Fry the fish in batches of 2 to 4 pieces at a time, depending on the size of the skillet.
• Using a spatula, turn and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. If you have an infrared thermometer, use it to check the fish, which should be at 145 F (a conventional instant-read thermometer won't work because the fish is too thin to take an accurate temperature). Otherwise, take a peek inside with a thin knife. The fish should be white and opaque when done.
• To keep the first batch warm while you fry the remaining fillets, transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and place in a heated 250 F oven for up to 20 minutes. Finish frying the rest of the fish.
• Drain on paper towels and serve while still warm.

THE BEST BEER BATTERED FISH

Steps:

• Season the fish with salt and pepper.
• Mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl with a whisk.
• Dredge the fillets well in the flour mix, shaking off any excess. Refrigerate fillets until ready to fry.
• When the oil is hot, add the beer and honey to the flour mixture and stir well. A couple of lumps are preferable, so don't overwork it. Add a couple ice cubes to the batter.
• Dip a couple of fillets into the batter, coating them completely. Allow any excess batter to drain off.
• Gently place them into the 375°F oil and fry for 30 seconds.
• Flip the fillet, exposing the more-cooked bottom. Drizzle a little bit of batter on top. Flip the fillet back over and drizzle a little batter on top again. Don't overdo it, but just add a thin layer of additional batter.
• Fry the fish until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes total for fish that's an inch thick. Serve immediately.

EASY TEMPURA BATTER RECIPE

Steps:

• Prep. Chill the beer or club soda. Cold temps help prevent gluten formation.
• Mix the dry ingredients in a small bowl. Beat the eggs lightly in a large bowl. Add the rest of the wet ingredients to the eggs and stir. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and stir but don't mix aggressively as you don't want to form gluten. Some clumps of dry flour should still be floating around in the batter, and the consistency should be a bit thinner than pancake batter. When you dunk something in it, the batter should coat the food thoroughly as excess batter gradually drips off. The batter should not be so thin that it immediately sheets off the food. If you need to thicken it, gently stir in more flour. To thin it, add beer, club soda, or water.
• Fire up. Preheat a 1-inch (2.5cm) depth of oil to 375°F (191°C), preferably in a cast-iron Dutch oven on your grill.
• Dunk the vegetables or seafood into the batter. Stir until coated. Note that if you are frying peppers or other pods (like okra), poke some holes in them so they don't explode.
• Cook. With tongs, pull the vegetable or seafood out, let some of the excess batter drip off, and slip the vegetables or seafood into the oil. Try to cook pieces of similar thickness together so they are done at the same time. Do not crowd the pot or the oil temperature will drop too low. Try to keep the oil temp above 325°F (163°C). Flip the vegetables or seafood often and fry until the batter is pale golden in color, 1 to 2 minutes. If you are doing chicken this way, fry until the white meat reaches an internal temp of 160 to 165°F (71° to 74°C) or the dark meat reaches 170 to 175°F (77° to 79°C). Don't worry about the internal temperature of veggies and seafood. They will be safe when the batter is golden. When done, lift the food out with tongs or a spider strainer and spill them onto the grate or paper towels to drain and drip dry for a minute or two.
• Serve. Sprinkle with coarse salt and serve. Scoop out any bits of fried batter left in the oil before the next batch goes in. These crunchy bits are called tenkasu and can be used in sandwich wraps, as toppings for noodle dishes, and as garnishes for soups.
