Hard Fry Batter?

I posted something about this in another thread, but I think it needs one of it's own.

I would like to see is a good HARD fry batter. I have been meaning to experiment in this reguard, but my minor experiments haven't come up with anything decent.

Now, a hard fry is not a 'breading.' I'm taking about fish and chips, not zaterans or shake and bake. Catfish rolled in cornmeal is grand, but it's not like english deep fried cod, or that chicken from popeyes. (love that chicken from popeyes.)

A hard fry batter must come out of the boiling oil as hard crust, it sticks close to the meat rather then falling off, and it is crunchy, not soft. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd it tastes good.

Has anyone experimented as yet?

personally i like the cornmeal, lol.

but besides that, i use a gluten-free 'all purpose flour' by a local manufacturer here when i'm frying fish. put about 3mm of olive oil in the pan, coat fish thickly with flour, fry on each side for 3mins on HIGH heat, (just shy of burning the oil) then turn to low heat and cook another 3 mins. i had this for lunch today with cod, and the crust was almost too hard, albeit i wouldn't call it crispy.

I used Mr Ritts Bakery pancake, waffle and tempura flour mix.. I am not sure if they deliver. They are a gluten free bakery in Philly. The cod came out just like you said you want it. I under cooked the first few pieces as I was new with it. I will be traveling back to Philly in a few weeks. I plan on stocking up. It makes excellent pancakes and waffles too! Its a bit pricey though, but i felt it was worth it. 11.00 a bag

I just found another recipe for "hard batter" I made it yesterday to have onion rings.

Here it is..

1 egg, separated

1/2 cup rice flour (I used white)

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper (I used paprika)

1/2 cold water

Beat egg yolk and water til frothy. Stir or beat in dry ingredients.

When smooth, let sit for 5 minutes. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks

form. Fold into or stir lightly into the the above mixture. Dip anything,

meat, veggies, onion rings, fish and fry in hot canola oil.

I havent tried it yet with the fish, but i made onion rings with it and they were goood!!!

I just had great success with chicken fingers tonight (I also used to like Popeye's chicken). I've had lots of good fried chicken, but this was by far the best for chicken fingers. Of course I eyeballed it so none of these measurements are truly accurate.

1/2 cup rice flour

1/2 cup tapioca flour

1 Tsp potato starch

1 Tsp Adobo seasoning

2 TBSP Xanthan gum

coat chicken in 2 beaten eggs and then the flour mixture. Fry on medium high heat. cook longer for extra crispiness.

That's into the eggs, then into the flour, then dunk it in the deep fry?

Yes, I just edited it. Thanks for noticing. I can't imagine anything fried in only egg coating would be very good.

      is Kirkland Imported French Brie gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is great info, so thanks for sharing it. I had no idea Costco provides this service, yet I've been a member for over two decades. In the United States, all food manufacturers, including any that ship foods for sale in the USA, are required to comply with the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) of 2004, which mandates clear labeling of major food allergens, including wheat, to protect consumers with allergies. Under this law, manufacturers must explicitly list wheat as an ingredient if it is present in the product, either in the ingredient statement or through a separate "Contains" statement (e.g., "Contains wheat"). This regulation helps individuals with celiac disease or wheat allergies avoid potentially harmful ingredients. FALCPA covers all packaged foods sold in the U.S., ensuring transparency and safety in food labeling while holding manufacturers accountable for accurate allergen disclosure. Failure to comply can result in regulatory action by the FDA, including product recalls or penalties. While the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) requires clear labeling of major food allergens like wheat, it does not include barley in its list of mandated allergens, despite barley containing gluten, which can be harmful to individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Since barley is not classified as a top allergen under FALCPA, manufacturers are not required to highlight it in allergen statements or use a "Contains" label, even though it poses risks similar to wheat for some consumers. Instead, barley may be listed under its common name (e.g., "barley malt" or "malt extract") in the ingredient list without additional emphasis. This regulatory gap means that individuals avoiding gluten must carefully scrutinize ingredient lists, as barley-derived ingredients can be less obvious than wheat. Advocacy groups continue to push for stricter gluten-related labeling, but currently, only wheat—not barley or rye—is subject to FALCPA’s allergen disclosure requirements. In general, this means that everyone with celiac disease should learn to read ingredient labels to be safe.  The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping.

      Second child with Celia

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      After my 3 year old daughter's diagnosis, we all got tested. My 5 year old son also came back positive with number 12x the upper limit.  We will confirm with another tTG and the other 2 tests in the panel.  He has zero symptoms that I have noticed. Maybe occasionally vomiting. He does have asthma. He's kind of an a**hole sometimes but also he's 5. He has SO much energy. Like miles and miles of biking, running, gymnastics. Never stops. Eats great, normal growth. It was comparing my daughter to him that made me push to figure out what was wrong with her!  Is it possible for a tTG test to just be totally wrong?
