# Ingredients:
01 -
Vegetable oil for frying
02 -
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
03 -
1/2 cup cornstarch
04 -
1 tablespoon baking powder
05 -
2 teaspoons kosher salt
06 -
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
07 -
1 1/2 cups water
08 -
2 pounds cod, hake, or other white fish
# Directions:
01 -
Preheat the oil to 350°F in a deep fryer or a medium sized saucepan.
02 -
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and cayenne pepper. Whisk in the water. The batter will get a little foamy. Continue to mix.

Pat the fish dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Dip the fish in the batter to fully coat each fillet.

Deep fry the fillets for 3 to 4 minutes until they are golden brown. If frying multiple pieces at once, separate them while cooking to prevent sticking.

When the fish has finished cooking, let it drain on a wire rack.
