Place the flours in a large bowl and whisk together.
Add the beer and soda water and mix to incorporate.
Whisk vigorously to get rid of any lumps.
Let stand for 10 minutes and then whisk again for 30 seconds.
If for some reason there are still lumps, simply strain them out.
Chef's Tips
The batter will fry crisper if no salt is added and it is not refrigerated.
For an extra punch add 1/2 - 1 tablespoon of paprika mmm...
Thank you :D! You can thank that awesome Irish Pub in Dublin for this superb recipe, the Irish certainly know a good batter when they taste it ;) xxx
This must be the best beer batter we have ever had, tried it with some pollack fillet and it was superb, better than my own!!
