Fish and Chips
- Beat the egg and add about half the beer to it. Put the flour and salt in a bowl and add about half the beer and egg mixture. Beat until it becomes a smooth paste adding a little more of the liquid if necessary.
- Slowlyadd the remaining beer and egg mixture beating all the time . Add more beer until the batter has the consistency of thick cream. Leavethe batter to stand for about an hour.
- Dry the cod fillets on kitchen paper and put them one at a time into the bowl of batter. Make sure the cod fillet is well covered with batter. Take the fillet out of the batter and put on a floured board, turn over so that both sides are covered in dry flour. Repeat for each fillet.
- Leavethe fillets to stand for another 5 minutes and then put them one or two at a time into a deep frying pan of oil at 180°C to cook for 5 minutes each - put in a warm oven to keep warm until served.
- If you have two deep frying pans cook the chips at the same time as the cod, otherwise cook the chips before the cod in the same oil - put the uncooked potatoes in the oil at about 170°C for about 6 minutes and then increase the temperature to 190°C for a further 6 minutes until the chips are golden brown.
- Remove from the oil and dry on kitchen paper before serving. Keep warm in the oven if necessary.
