Steps:
- Mix baking soda, salt, pepper and flour.
- Add melted butter.
- Add egg and lemon juice.
- Add soda. (add more if batter seems too thick.) Batter will be lumpy, but lumps will cook out, so don't over mix.
- Dip fish or vegetables into dry flour first before dipping into batter. This will help batter stick.
- Fry veggies first in hot oil (350 degrees), then fish.
- Drain on paper towels and keep in warm oven while frying.
- Serve with tartar sauce.
CRISPY CIDER-BATTERED CHICKEN FINGERS
Believe it or not, the best beer batter isn't made with beer! It's actually done with sparkling apple cider, which produces a light, beautifully crispy, and very flavorful coating. Not to mention it's super easy.

Steps:
- Cut each chicken breast into 6 finger-sized strips, and transfer into a mixing bowl.
- Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne and toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over top and shake the bowl to coat the strips. Toss until all the surfaces are completely coated, and then transfer onto a rack or plate. Place in the refrigerator, uncovered, for at least 10 minutes, or until ready to fry.
- Meanwhile, whisk self-rising flour and sparkling apple cider together in a mixing bowl to form a thin batter. Batter should be somewhere between a thin pancake batter and a crepe batter, but still thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Place in the refrigerator to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before using.
- Mix Dijon mustard, vinegar, hot sauce, and sugar together for dipping sauce in a bowl.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Dip each chicken finger into the batter to coat. Deep-fry in batches in the hot oil until golden brown, crispy, and no longer pink in the centers, 3 to 4 1/2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with dipping sauce.

UNBELIEVABLE FISH BATTER
In the early 1950's, I received this recipe on an open-line, talk-radio show. It makes the lightest, crispiest batter imaginable. This makes enough to coat approximately 2 pounds of fish.
