Fish and Chips

Heat the beef dripping to 325F/160C in a deep fat fryer.

Place the fries in the fryer for 6-7 minutes, until soft and cooked (but not browned).

Meanwhile, add mix together 1 egg, flour and milk (the batter should be the consistency of light cream).

Coat the cod fillets in well seasoned flour and then dip in the batter mix.

Remove the fries, season with salt and let cool.

Add the fish to the hot beef dripping for 6-7 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.

Remove the fish and let cool.

Once cooled, drain off the fat onto kitchen paper or paper towels.

Turn the fryer up to 375F/190C.

Add the fries for 1 minute, until the fries are a nice golden brown color.

They should be perfectly crisp and cooked.

Serve with a wedge of lemon, a little deep fried parsley and lashings of salt and white wine vinegar.
