Best Long John Silver’s Batter

A light and crispy batter perfect for frying fish, shrimp, or vegetables, using cold club soda for extra bubbles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup cold club soda

Instructions

  1. Whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
  2. Slowly add cold club soda and whisk gently until smooth.
  3. Pat fish dry and dip into the batter.
  4. Fry in hot oil at 350°F until golden and crisp.

Notes

Use very cold club soda for the best bubbles. Pat fish dry so batter sticks well. Fry at a steady 350°F for even color and crispness.
