Long John Silver's Batter

Posted by FootsieBear at anonymous May 23, 2001

2/3 cup club soda
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 egg
1/2 cup Bisquick
1/2 cup self-rising flour

Beat all ingredients together until smooth; let stand 10 minutes.

Heat oil to 385 degrees F.

In small bowl put 1/2 cup club soda, in another 1/2 cup self-rising flour. Dip fish first into soda, then into flour. Set fish on cookie sheet till all the fish has been coated; let dry a few minutes.

Dip fish in batter, let excess drip off; and deep fry 3 or 4 minutes per side. Shrimp can be done the same way if peeled and deveined first.
