INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 1 Tbsp canola oil
• 2 egg yolks, beaten
• 3/4 - 1 cup Honeyweiss, room temp

• garlic salt
• lemon pepper
• 6 lg fish filets or 6-12 small ones

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients, oil and egg yolks. Stirring constantly, gradually add Honeyweiss. Cover bowl and refrigerate mixture for a minimum of 3 hours.
2. Just before frying, fold beaten egg whites into mixture - first a small amount to lighten the mix and then add the remainder.

4. Fry fish in oil until golden brown on both sides.
