Heston's Fish Batter
Ingredients
- 100g (about 3.5 oz) bread flour
- 100g (about 3.5 oz) rice flour
- ½ tbsp (7.5ml) baking powder
- 1 tbsp (15ml) honey
- 150ml (about 5 fl oz) vodka
- 150ml (about 5 fl oz) beer

Method
1. Add the dry ingredients to a bowl and create a well in the centre. Pour the wet ingredients (honey, vodka, and beer) into the well, and whisk until just combined. It's crucial to avoid overmixing to ensure the batter remains light and crispy.
2. Lightly dust your fish with a bit of flour, then dip it into the batter, ensuring an even coat before frying.

    Hi Andy, adding alcohol as a water replacements makes the fried batter more crispy vs a fully water batter. While in the batter, the alcohol will still work as a 'wetting' agent. But upon frying, the alcohol will evaporate and the crust will be more crispy when compared to a full water batter from which less moisture will evaporate. A 40% proof (80 proof for the Americans here), you'll have 40% less water to evaporate vs 100% water. Alcohol evaporates at a lower temperature than water (78 Celsius vs 100 Celsius / approx 173 F vs 212 F).
  • I used to cook fishes terribly before this video. Thanks to you I can have an opportunity to redeem myself in front of my family.

    I didn’t think I I would watch the whole thing when I saw it was 20 minutes, but now it’s done and I’ve learned some new ways to cook fish. Very engaging and great that you are quick and simple with several different varieties. Thank you for sharing!

    Greetings from Sweden. I must comment on your way of cooking fish. I believe we have the tradition in all of the Nordic countries and it is that we cook our fish at much lower temp than you are. 120° Celsius in the oven and we consider the fish being ready when it reaches 48-52° Celsius or just when it starts flaking. Often when you eat fish in other countries we feel the fish is quite dry. Not sure if it is tradition or if our fish coming from our cold water in North Sea react differently when it’s cooked. Otherwise we love your show up here as well! 😊😊

    I’d watch Andy cook a rubber boot and then try the recipe.

    I never expected you to talk like an American, until you said “Now onto Iraq”. 😂

    What happened to the river side home?
  • @daijovetic6126
    The reason Heston uses Vodka is because it stops the fat/oil being absorbed into the batter. The Croatians use Rakija in their Fritule batter for the same reason. Fritules are glorious little deep fried dough balls.

    Hey Andy! Me and my dad love watching you're videos! We are from Sweden and we would love to see your take on one or two Swedish classic dishes! The cuisine is called husmanskost and my favorites are: Biff Rydberg, Meatballs with masshed potatoes and pickled cucumber, and pytt I panna! We both think that the Swedish kitchen is under represented in the world!  Thank you Andy and keep up the good work!
