Deep Fried Fish Fillets
Ingredients
- 4 oz plain flour
- pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 1/4 pint milk or milk and water
- oil or fat for deep-frying
- 1 1/2 lb white fish fillets
- seasoned flour
Instructions
- Mix together the flour and salt, make a well in the centre and break in the egg. Add the liquid gradually beating until smooth.
- Heat the oil or fat to 177-188°C (350-370°F). Test with a thermometer or by dropping in a bread cube, which should brown in 1 minute.
- When the oil is hot, coat each piece of fish with seasoned flour and then with batter.
- Lower the fish gently into the fat, cooking two at a time to avoid lowering the temperature. Cook 5-10 minutes, until golden.
- Remove the fish pieces and drain thoroughly on absorbent kitchen paper. Keep hot while cooking the remaining pieces.
