Ingredients:

Serving size: 4
Calories per serving: 125
1 cup self-rising flour
2 tablespoons rice flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup lager-style beer, or more as needed
4 (6 ounce) cod fillets, fully thawed if frozen
2 tablespoons rice flour, or as needed
salt to taste
vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
Start the batter: Whisk self-rising flour, rice flour, and baking powder together in a bowl. Freeze until ready to use.
Make the fish: Pat cod as dry as possible, then cut lengthwise into eight 1-inch-thick strips. Place rice flour on a plate and season with salt. Dust cod lightly with the rice flour mixture and shake off any excess. Cover a plate with crinkled foil to make a quick drying rack; place cod on top.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Finish the batter: Remove flour mixture from the freezer. Pour in beer and whisk until batter is the consistency of a thick pancake batter, adding more beer as needed.
Dip floured cod into the batter to coat; lift out and let excess drip off.
Fry cod in batches until golden brown, dunking occasionally if needed, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.
