- 3/4 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 x egg, separated
- 1/4 c. beer
- 1/4 c. water
- 1/2 tsp salt Vegetable oil for frying
- 1 lb haddock or possibly flounder, boned, skinned and cut in 3-by-5 inch pcs

- Put flour in a medium bowl. In another bowl, combine egg yolk, beer, water and salt, then pour into flour, whisking till smooth. Let batter rest for 30 min.
- Fill the cooking container with at least 3 inches of oil, allowing room for oil to bubble up during frying; heat oil to 375 degrees F.
- Beat egg white to soft peaks; fold into batter. Pat fish dry with paper towels. Dip fish in batter, lower it gently into warm oil, and fry till golden (4 to 5 min). Fish should begin to flake when cut with a fork. Remove from oil with a slotted spoon, skimmer or possibly wire basket, allowing excess oil to drip back into container. Drain on paper towels. Keep hot in a 275-degree oven till ready to serve.
