Notes and Tips:
Experiment with Seasonings: Enhance the flavor of your batter by adding your favorite seasonings. Try garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika for a personalized touch.
Maintain Oil Temperature: Keep an eye on the oil temperature to ensure a crispy texture. Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.
Pat Fillets Dry: Before coating with batter, pat the fish or chicken fillets dry with paper towels. This helps the batter adhere better.
Test for Readiness: Drop a small amount of batter into the hot oil. If it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready for frying.
Serve with Dipping Sauces: Elevate your dining experience by serving the crispy fillets with homemade tartar sauce or a squeeze of lemon.
Adjust Consistency: If the batter seems too thick, add a little more water. If it’s too thin, add a bit more flour for the desired consistency.
