Fried Fish Batter, Easy, Light, Crispy, Gluten Free!! A Winner!!
I was trying to come up with a heading that would be a little bit more attractive. The word “fried” turns some people off. Too much fat, too greasy….more calories.
No other way getting around it….the dish is fried fish. The batter is the center of attention on this particular post. It is gluten free!! Gluten free or not, this recipe is a winner for the ones that love a light crunchy batter, full of flavor. I have made the recipe a couple of times and it is still a winner.
Fried Fish Batter
1/2 cup gluten free flour (plenty of them at the grocery stores. I used a brown rice flour.)
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 tablespoon gluten free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional (I did not use salt.)
Club Soda
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Slowly, start adding club soda, whisking, until a coating consistency is obtained. You want to be able to dip the fish pieces and have a thorough coating.
I was looking for cod today, but could not find any. Instead, I got fresh rock fish. Cut it in bite size pieces. A nice coating of batter, fried for a few minutes and served.
Broccoli was the vegetable I chose. Two sauces were made. One with ketchup and horseradish to taste. The other, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar and relish.
This was sooo easy. Guess what? Like a beer batter better? Several gluten free beers are on the market. Substitute the beer for the club soda.
Note: This recipe can be doubled.
Like it a bit spicier? You know what to do…add more cayenne. Make it your own!! Enjoy!!
