Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 ounces (1/2 cup) white rice flour; 1 ounce (1/4 cup) sweet rice flour; 3 ounces (3/4 cup) cornstarch; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1 teaspoon granulated sugar; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 3/4 cup gluten-free beer, more as needed; 1 pound boneless, skinless cod, cut into 5-inch pieces; 2 ounces (1/2 cup) white rice flour; 2 ounces (1/2 cup) cornstarch; 2 quarts vegetable oil

Servings: persons

2 ounces (1/2 cup) white rice flour
1 ounce (1/4 cup) sweet rice flour
3 ounces (3/4 cup) cornstarch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup gluten-free beer, more as needed
1 pound boneless, skinless cod, cut into 5-inch pieces
2 ounces (1/2 cup) white rice flour
2 ounces (1/2 cup) cornstarch
2 quarts vegetable oil

1
In medium bowl, whisk together cornstarch, white rice flour, sweet rice flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper. Add gluten-free beer. Whisk until batter forms. Batter should flow easily from a spoon, slightly thicker than the consistency of heavy cream. If it's too thick, add an additional tablespoon beer. Set aside. In large bowl or pie plate, whisk together remaining white rice flour and cornstarch.
2
Preheat oven to 250u00b0F. In heavy bottomed Dutch oven, heat oil to 375u00b0F. Dredge cod, one piece at a time, into the white rice flour-cornstarch mixture. Shake off excess. Dip cod, one piece at a time, into batter. Allow excess batter to drop off. Carefully lower fish into hot oil. Cook until batter sets, about three minutes. Turn fish and cook until batter turns golden brown, about another three to five minutes. (Frying time varies depending in the size of the cod pieces.) Fry cod in batches, about two to three pieces at a time depending on the size of your fryer.
3
Drain fish on paper towel-lined plate. Serve at once or transfer to rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in preheated oven for up to twenty minutes.

Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
