Deep Fried Fish
Yield:  4 servings

deep fat or oil for frying
8 medium white fish fillets; or 4 large
110 g plain flour or self raising flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 tablespoon butter; melted
150 ml milk
lemon wedges to garnish
 
Half-fill a deep pan with melted fat or oil.  Heat until a faint
haze rises from it (or until a bread cube sinks to the bottom of
the pan, rises to the top immediately and turns golden in 50
seconds).  Sift the flour and salt into a bowl.  Beat to a smooth
batter with unbeaten egg, butter and milk.  Coat 2 pieces of fish
with batter.  Lift into the pan with a fork or kitchen tongs.  Fry
until crisp and golden, allowing about 6-8 minutes for large pieces
and 4-5 minutes for medium.  Remove from the pan and drain on
absorbent kitchen paper.  Repeat with the remaining fish.  Garnish
with lemon wedges.
