Take bowl with self raising flour, add a good sprinkle of lemon pepper and add a
little water... Stir adding a little water at a time till you make a thick
runny batter...(you can use soda water if wanted) The
consistency required is for it to become a thick runny batter that just
falls off the spoon....
Dredge fish fillets etc in a light dusting of flour before
dipping in batter and frying... The secret to a light crispy batter is
DOUBLE COOKING...Place your food in batter...then hot oil and cook till the
batter just changes colour and sets.. Remove food and place on paper
towels to go COLD and drain.. Clean up the oil for the second cooking. Turn
up the heat and deep fry till golden brown.. Hints: Do NOT use a basket as the batter tends to
stick and make a mess.. Use this same method of DOUBLE cooking home made
chips to make them nice and crispy...
