    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup cornstarch
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
    • 1 cup cold sparkling water or beer
    • 1 pound white fish fillets (like cod or haddock)
    • Oil for frying

    Instructions

    1. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
    2. Add Liquid: Gradually add the cold sparkling water or beer to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and slightly thick. Let it rest for about 10-15 minutes.
    3. Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C) for frying.
    4. Coat the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Dip each fillet into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
    5. Fry the Fish: Carefully place the battered fish into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
    6. Drain and Serve: Remove the fish from the oil and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or sides!
