Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pound flounder fillets
Lemon juice
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 large eggs, seperated
1/2 cup beer
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Cut the fillets into three-by-four-inch pieces. Sprinkle with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Combine the egg yolks, beer, flour and baking powder. Mix thoroughly.
  • Whip the egg whites until stiff.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the batter until well mixed in.
  • Heat the oil to 375 degrees (or to almost smoking point). Put the fish into the batter and shake off excess. Fry a few pieces at a time, turning with a slotted spoon when they rise to the surface. Drain on paper towels and keep warm until ready to serve.
