This was hands down the best fried fish batter I have evr used! I used the self rising flour (which I made with hcopeland's recipe here on recipezaar, which is 1 c. flour, 1 1/2 t. baking powder, and 1/2 t. salt) and measured it out to 4 oz (which is slightly less than 1 cup). I used a deep frier and the batter was so good on it's own, I wanted to fry everything in it! Next on my list for it will b onion rings and apple fritters. Thanks for the great and easy recipe!
