How to cook hake fillet in a frying pan in batter
Recipe for this amazing dish:
- egg;
- 2 tbsp. wheat flour;
- 1 tbsp. beer or sparkling mineral water;
- 2 fish;
- vegetable oil;
- salt + ground pepper.
Cut the prepared fish into portions 2 cm thick. Add salt and pepper to the meat. Leave the product to marinate for about 10 minutes.
During this time, prepare the batter. Beat the egg, add flour, beer or mineral water. Please note that the batter must be of the desired thickness. Not too thick, like dumpling dough, and not too runny, otherwise it will drip off the fish. Due to the fact that liquid with gas is used when preparing the batter, the crust of the fish will be tender.
Place the fish pieces dipped in batter into a heated frying pan with oil. Fry the hake until golden brown. Just don’t cover the dish with a lid, otherwise the fish will turn out not fried, but stewed.
If you cook this dish exactly following my recipe, believe me, it will turn out amazingly delicious. Your household will sing odes of gratitude to you after tasting this culinary masterpiece.
