Chef Brian’s $100k Fish Batter Recipe
3.5 cups of pastry flour
3 tbsp. baking powder
2 tbsp. salt
¾ cup Buttermilk
3 cups of cold water
Sift together all dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Gently whisk in the buttermilk and water until the batter reaches uniform consistency with no lumps. Do not over mix as this will stretch the glutens in the flour and make a heavy, flat batter crust. Use only firm white-fleshed fish. Cod, haddock and skate work best. Dry you fish fillets with paper towel before hand, dredge lightly in flour, then into the batter. Finally gently free float your evenly batter coated fish in a 365-375 degree F vat of oil. Remove when a deep golden colour and serve.
