BRANDON'S GLUTEN FREE FISH BATTER
Since our daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease I have been experimenting and finally came up with a good fish batter. It fries up crisp and golden brown and is very tasty.

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 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.

Tips:
- Use a light touch when mixing the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough batter.
- Make sure the fish is dry before coating it in the batter. This will help the batter adhere to the fish.
- Gently lower the fish into the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will cause the oil temperature to drop and the fish will not cook evenly.
- Cook the fish until it is golden brown and flaky. The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish.
- Serve the fish immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
