YEAST BATTER RECIPE - (3.4/5)

Steps:

• Skin the fish fillet or chicken tenders and cut into four equal portions. Season with salt and pepper. Dust the meat with flour and then dip in the batter until well coated. Heat oil for deep-frying to 375°F. Fry the fish in the hot oil, two fillets at a time, for about 5 minutes or until golden brown. Drain and keep warm. CHEF NOTES: The batter is essentially there only to protect the fish or chicken tender's surface when cooking. It should be light, thin (just enough to protect the fish) and cook crisp. Thin the batter down and test (by deep frying something) and keep thinning until the best batter is obtained Testing batters is essential, a small piece of fish, etc should be dipped and deep fried to test its consistency, crispness and taste. It should then be corrected as required, as should the temperature of the oil.
