This recipe is my mom's and is particularly wonderful with fish. I have many happy memories of dad catching fish for mom to batter and fry. This recipe makes enough batter to coat about 2 medium fish fillets. It takes a bit of time because you should let it stand for a few hours to break down any rubberiness. If you are in a hurry and don't have time to let it stand, try to mix the batter with as few strokes as possible to avoid a build up of gluten in the flour.

1 1/3 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 egg yolks, beaten (keep the egg whites for later)
3/4 cup flat beer

Method

Combine the flour, salt, oil and egg yolks in a bowl and mix well. Then gradually add the beer while stirring constantly. Cover the batter and let it rest in the refrigerator for 6 hours (3hrs minimum). Remove from the refrigerator and just before coating the fish, add to the batter mix the 2 egg white which have been stiffly beaten.

The fish pieces should be patted dry to help the batter stick. Fry in heated cooking oil until the fish is done.
