Steps to make Tex's Proper Beer-Battered Fish & Chips with Mushy Peas π π:
- For best results make your batter an hour before you cook and refrigerate. Mix all the dry ingredients in a jug then pour in your beer slowly, stirring until you get a smooth batter. The batter should be the consistency of single cream, adjust amounts of beer or flour until it is. I like to use British beer for flavour.
- The custard powder is my secret ingredient. It's basically cornflour with a little sugar, powdered egg, vanilla flavouring, and powdered egg. It will add a little sweetness to your batter, and a little extra colour
- Prep your chips (see recipe in my profile: Tex's No-Fail Chips), and deep fry for 2 minutes at 130Β°C
- Heat your oil to 180Β°C/356Β°F. Dip the fish in the beaten egg then dredge with flour. Dip the fish in the batter, and cook for 5-6 minutes according to the thickness of your fillet. Turn halfway through If after its been cooked the batter looks a bit pale, cook for another minute or so until it's an orangey-brown colour. Keep in a warm oven until ready to serve
- While the fish is cooking, make the mushy peas (see my. profile for recipe 'Tex's Mushy Peas') - - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/447768-texs-mushy-peas-%F0%9F%87%AC%F0%9F%87%A7%F0%9F%8D%B2
- Heat your oil to 180Β°C/355Β°F. Add your chips, and cook until they float, then a little longer until they start to become golden. They should rattle in the fryer basket when shaken if they're done
- While your chips are cooking, reheat your peas, uncovered, stirring frequently. Season with salt. Add a little hot water or the strained juice from the peas if too dry
- Drain the fish & chips on kitchen paper for a few seconds then plate up with the peas and plenty of salt and malt vinegar over everything.
- Enjoy as is…
- Or with gravy (see recipe in my profile 'Tex's English Chippy-Style gravy)
Pieces of cod are dipped in a batter spiced up with paprika and garlic powder then fried until golden brown. Proper fried fish is a true British art form - and needs little in the way of fancy embellishments. Beer and raising agents, for flavour and volume, and good hot fat are all you need for pure, unadulterated Is battered fish an art best left to the professionals, or can you beat the efforts of your local chippie? In two batches, dip fish into batter (gently shaking off excess) and place in oil. For the batter, mix the cornflour, plain flour and salt together in a large bowl.
