Beer Battered Halibut - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 halibut fillets (8 oz. each )
1 cup flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
12 ounces dark beer
1 dash salt and pepper
flour (for dredging)

Preparation

Pat halibut filets dry and dredge in extra flour. Mix together flour, cornstarch, baking powder and dash of each salt and pepper. Add enough of the beer to make a pancake-like batter. ( Not too runny but thick enough to coat fish). Do not over stir as batter will become tough.
Coat fish in batter and let extra drip off back into bowl.
Oil should be preheated at 365.
Place carefully in hot oil and cook for 8 - 10 minutes until golden in colour and fish is cooked.
