Pancake mix isn't just for breakfast, and beer isn't just for drinking. Proof of that is with our mouthwatering pub-style recipe for Beer Battered Fish Fry. You'll lure everyone to the table with this catch!
What You'll Need
- 1 1/2 cup pancake mix
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 3/4 cup beer
- 1 egg
- Peanut oil for frying
- 2 1/2 pounds white-fleshed fillets, cut into 2-inch pieces
What to Do
- In a large bowl, combine pancake mix, sugar, salt, cayenne pepper, beer, and egg; mix well.
- Heat 1 inch of oil in a large deep skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
- Dip fish pieces into batter, coating completely, then fry in oil 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until coating is golden and fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Drain on a paper towel-lined platter. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute club soda for the beer, if you prefer. If batter begins to thicken, just add a bit more liquid.
- We suggest serving this with our "Grate" Carrot Salad as a refreshing side!

polarxpress 0129747 I suggest that you follow the 6 ingredients to make the batter, then using regular flour to coat the fish, in a plastic bag, then dip in batter, then fry in oil, should solve your problem.

This was a bit sweet and batter a little thick this is the first time trying it. Next time I'll thin the batter. I also tossed the fish in the dry ingredients to coat first and simply added a bit more pancake flour before adding eggs and stuff tasty though....

Just tried last night. Wonderful taste! Just as I expected, but the batter stuck on the rack of my fryer and pulled away from the fish. I used frozen cod, defrosted and dried. Any suggestions for next time? Thanks for the recipe.
