LOOKS LIKE A FISH AND CHIPS DAY

Its our Nascar Race today............try to think of something special to eat during the race.  Today I zeroed in on English Style Fish and Chips.
Cut your potatoes nice and thickk for the chips.......about the size of your finger.  Set those aside in a bowl of water while you prepare your fish.  I hope you have access to cod but if not........you can use any firm white fish.  You need a bowl for the batter and a pie tin for your flour.  Go ahead and fry your chips........you don't want to mix your batter until you are ready to use it. Fry the chips and set aside.......you will refry them.  In your bowl.......put about 1 1/2 cups flour (depending on how much fish you are cooking) about 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp of kosher salt, about 2 Tblsp milk, 1 beaten egg and 1 cup of so of beer........whisk all tog to make a batter that is quite thin.......about like whipping cream.........so now dip your fish in the flour and then in the batter and then back in the flour and then into the hot oil!  That's it............Believe me this is authentic........So when all the fish is fried.........refry the chips for just a minute and serve with Malt Vinegar..........if you really want to be authentic take a brown paper bag and cut into squares........roll up like a cone........put chips in bottom, then fish.........sprinkle all generously with salt and malt vinegar.  This is the best dish the English ever invented!
