How to make Bisquick beer batter? 

Making bisquick beer batter is easy and only takes a few simple steps. All you need to do is focus on following the steps.

Ingredients :

• Fish fillets: This is the base of the dish, and will be coated in the batter. For a more flavourful meal, choose fresh fillets or even use fish that has been marinated overnight.
• Egg: The egg helps bind the other ingredients together and gives the batter a nice, fluffy texture.
• Beer: The beer helps to give an extra depth of flavour and makes a lighter batter which is perfect for deep frying. Choose a light, not too hoppy beer for the best results.
• Original Bisquick Mix: Bisquick mix is the main ingredient for this beer batter recipe. It binds together all the necessary ingredients to make a perfect crispy coating for the fish.
• Salt: This adds balance to the flavours in the batter and will bring out all the other ingredients.
• Cornmeal: Cornmeal is used to add crunch and texture to the beer batter. It also helps give the fish a golden colour when cooked.
• Tartar sauce: This creamy condiment is perfect for dipping your deep fried fish. It adds a tangy kick that complements the beer batter perfectly.
• Pepper: This adds seasoning and gives an extra flavour kick. Feel free to use as much or as little according to taste.

Step by step instructions

Step 1:

In a medium bowl, mix together the Bisquick mix, cornmeal, salt and pepper until combined.

Step 2 :

Add in beer slowly while stirring to create a thick mixture. If it’s too thick add more beer as needed.

Step 3 :

Beat 1 egg in a small bowl until blended then add to the batter mix and combine all the ingredients together.

Step 4 :

Cut fish fillets into cubes or strips, about 2 inches long. Dip each piece of fish into the batter until completely covered then place on wax paper. Arrange the battered pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 5 :

Heat up oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, then slowly drop the battered fish pieces into the hot oil. Fry for about 3 minutes until golden brown.

Step 6 :

Once cooked, place on a cooling rack lined with paper towels and drizzle tartar sauce over them while still warm. Serve warm with your favorite sides.

Tips 

• If you don’t have any beer or don’t like it, you can also use water instead.
• Be careful not to overcook the fish otherwise it will be dry and hard.
