Steps to make Tex's Proper Beer-Battered Fish & Chips with Mushy Peas 🐠🍟:
- For best results make your batter an hour before you cook and refrigerate. Mix all the dry ingredients in a jug then pour in your beer slowly, stirring until you get a smooth batter. The batter should be the consistency of single cream, adjust amounts of beer or flour until it is. I like to use British beer for flavour.
- The custard powder is my secret ingredient. It's basically cornflour with a little sugar, powdered egg, vanilla flavouring, and powdered egg. It will add a little sweetness to your batter, and a little extra colour
- Prep your chips (see recipe in my profile: Tex's No-Fail Chips), and deep fry for 2 minutes at 130°C
- Heat your oil to 180°C/356°F. Dip the fish in the beaten egg then dredge with flour. Dip the fish in the batter, and cook for 5-6 minutes according to the thickness of your fillet. Turn halfway through If after its been cooked the batter looks a bit pale, cook for another minute or so until it's an orangey-brown colour. Keep in a warm oven until ready to serve
- While the fish is cooking, make the mushy peas (see my. profile for recipe 'Tex's Mushy Peas') - - https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/447768-texs-mushy-peas-%F0%9F%87%AC%F0%9F%87%A7%F0%9F%8D%B2
- Heat your oil to 180°C/355°F. Add your chips, and cook until they float, then a little longer until they start to become golden. They should rattle in the fryer basket when shaken if they're done
- While your chips are cooking, reheat your peas, uncovered, stirring frequently. Season with salt. Add a little hot water or the strained juice from the peas if too dry
- Drain the fish & chips on kitchen paper for a few seconds then plate up with the peas and plenty of salt and malt vinegar over everything.
- Enjoy as is…
- Or with gravy (see recipe in my profile 'Tex's English Chippy-Style gravy)
