Deep Fried Fish Batter

Homemade Fish & Chips has been a special treat in our house for as long as I can remember. I now have my husband hooked, so it only made sense that I tried to experiment with my mom's recipe in order to share it with my daughter.

1 1/2 cup of Flour Blend #1 (see previous post for the ingredients of Flour Blend)
2 1/2 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1 tbsp canola oil
approximately 3/4 cup of water
ground pepper

Combine dry ingredients in medium bowl. Add canola oil. Wisk in water slowly until it is the consistency of pancake batter.

Pat fish or boneless chicken breast dry. Dip fish (or chicken) into batter and deep fry in 350 degree canola oil until crisp. The finished fish will not have the dark color of deep fried fish with a wheat batter, but it is just as tasty!
