Basic Batter

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Plain Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1/2 cup Water

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt together.
  • Whisk in milk and water until it is the consistency that will coat the back of a spoon.
  • Dip your fish or chicken into the batter.
  • Fry in hot oil until golden.

Notes

  • Make sure you shake off excess batter before you fry your fish or chicken.
  • You can use this batter immediately but if you let it sit for an hour, it will give you a lighter, crisper finished product.
