Brandons Gluten Free Fish Batter Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE BEER-BATTERED FRIED FISH

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, baking powder, sugar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
• Add gluten-free beer or club soda and mix until the batter is smooth and not too thick or too thin. Add more liquid if the batter is too thick (it should be a bit runny, but you shouldn't be able to see the fish through it).
• Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet to 375 F. If you don't have a thermometer, you can tell if the oil is hot enough when bubbles form around a chopstick or skewer when it is placed in the oil.
• When the oil has come up to temperature, dip the fillets in the batter one at a time making sure both sides are coated. Hold above the bowl to let excess batter drip off.
• Carefully place fish in the hot oil and fry for 3 minutes or until the batter has set. Fry the fish in batches of 2 to 4 pieces at a time, depending on the size of the skillet.
• Using a spatula, turn and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. If you have an infrared thermometer, use it to check the fish, which should be at 145 F (a conventional instant-read thermometer won't work because the fish is too thin to take an accurate temperature). Otherwise, take a peek inside with a thin knife. The fish should be white and opaque when done.
• To keep the first batch warm while you fry the remaining fillets, transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and place in a heated 250 F oven for up to 20 minutes. Finish frying the rest of the fish.
• Drain on paper towels and serve while still warm.

BRANDON'S GLUTEN FREE FISH BATTER

Steps:

• Have your fish at room temperature. Place them in a gallon storage bag with some Gluten free Bisquick. Shake them to coat. Put the fillets in a strainer to shake off the excess coating of Bisquick.
• Mix all of the above dry ingredients together, add enough milk to make a thin batter. Dip each fillet into batter and let the excess drip off before putting into your hot oil.

GLUTEN FREE CHINESE FRY BATTER

Steps:

• Take the first 4 ingredients and mix in a bowl. Next beat the Egg and add it to the Club Soda. Pour the Egg mix into the dry mix; add the Vanilla & Brown Sugar. Mix, adding more pure Club Soda until desired thickness.
• A thin batter is desirable if the protein is to be stir fried after cooking. A thick batter is desirable if the protein is served with a sauce.
• Dredge the protein in the Brown Rice Flour. Then dip it in the batter mix. Let excess fall off and then place in fryer.

TEMPURA BATTER - GLUTEN FREE

Steps:

• TO MAKE BATTER.
• Pour the beaten egg into a measuring jug and add enough icy cold water to make up to 300ml. Pour into a large mixing bowl.
• Add the flour and mix roughly & lighlty with a fork. Do not beat the mixture, it should remain lumpy looking. Add a few ice-cubes to keep the batter cool.
• TO USE BATTER.
• Have your selection to be battered prepared before you make the tempura batter. Ensure you oil is to temperature approx 175°C or 350°F degrees.
• A mixture of 3 parts vegetable or olive oil to 1 part sesame oil gives a great flavour.
• Lightly dip selection to be battered in a gluten-free flour to coat, then dip into the tempura batter mixture and straight into the hot oil. Slowly add the battered pieces into the oil. Fry very small batches at a time. Dip fry until the batter is crisp. Drain on a wire rack.
