INSTRUCTIONS

THE BATTER
THE BATTER: In a 1 1/2 quart mixing bowl, with wire whisk, whip 2/3 cup
beer, lemon juice, egg, Bisquick, and 1/2 cup self-rising flour together
till smooth. Then let it stand ten minutes at room temperature before
using.  Meanwhile place two soup or cereal bowls on counter near the stove
so that you can work quickly in coating food and getting it into the hot
oil.
In one small bowl put 1/2 cup beer and into the other put 1/2 cup
self-rising flour.  Have a cookie sheet on hand. Cover half of it with
paper towels for draining the fried foods. The other half leave plain for
drying the coated food before you dip it into batter.
Allow 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 lbs. fish fillets to serve 4 people. Cut each fillet
in half to resemble triangles. Dip 1 piece at a time, first into beer. Let
excess drip off. Coat lightly then in the self-rising flour.
Place floured pieces on cookie sheet to dry 2 or 3 minutes. Then spear
piece with 3-tined fork or tip of sharp knife & coat in prepared
batter...evenly but lightly, letting excess drip back into bowl of batter.
Fry few pieces at a time in 385 to 400 degrees F oil, at least 2 1/2" to 3"
deep in heavy saucepan or use electric fry pan with temperature control
dial to regulate heat of oil.
Allow about 3 or 4 minutes per side for each piece of batter-coated fish,
turning once to brown other side. Remove from oil with tip of sharp knife.
Drain on paper towel. Keep warm on cookie sheet in 300 degree F oven till
all pieces have been fried.
SHRIMP-DEEP FRIED: Substitute large or jumbo shrimp preferably frozen,
cooked, ready to serve shrimp, that have been completely thawed, following
the Lone John Sliver recipe exactly, using the shrimp in place of the fish
triangles.  Be sure to dip the shrimp 1st in the beer and then into the
self-rising flour before coating in prepared batter. Fry as directed for
fish in above recipe. 1 pound serves 4.
