Copycat Long John Silvers Batter

[Music] okay today I'm gonna do a copycat Long John Silver's recipe their batter I'm gonna try to duplicate it so I hope you'll try this recipe let's get going so the first thing you're gonna need is 3/4 of a cup of flour and the next thing we'll do is add some cornstarch 2 teaspoons and we're gonna add teaspoon of sugar I'm using pure cane sugar you can use the white sugar if that's all you have we're gonna season it with garlic powder and I'm just using the organic garlic powder I'm gonna do onion powder and some salt we need 1/4 of a teaspoon of baking soda and I'm just gonna eyeball that you can certainly and measure it out with a measuring spoon okay you're gonna want to mix all this stuff together this is a 1 to 1 ratio so you needed more batter than this you could start with a full cup of flour and a full cup you're going to need cold water this works best with cold water if he's room temperature it doesn't seem to work as well okay take our cold water use the same amount we did for flour we're gonna use 3/4 of a cup of cold water gonna mix all this together okay we're gonna let the batter sit for about five minutes while we heat up the deep fryer deep fryer ready to go so I'm gonna take the I've got some chicken tenders here I did a half a pound of chicken tenders and a half a pound of shrimp and we're gonna do the chicken first so that the chicken doesn't taste like shrimp that's really important to remember when you're deep frying if you're dealing with fish or anything like that the the oil always takes ownership of the strongest odor you know from the food so it's real important that if you're doing fish and chicken that you do your chicken first otherwise your chicken will taste like fish so we're gonna do our chicken first there's the first one and you don't want to overload your deep fryer because every time you add a piece of chicken the temperature goes down so I'm gonna do like three pieces and after they get going then I'll add more I absolutely love Long John Silver's batter I just really do I enjoy eating at Long John Silver's but I'm also very smart enough to know that not every Long John Silver's is clean not every Long John Silver's has the same standards even though I'm sure they monitor those on a corporate level making this at home just seems like I have more control over the cleanliness of the food so I really think you'll enjoy this version of their what what I'm calling the copycat version of their batter that they use on their on their fish you could do Cod which is Cod is another fish that they use a lot at Long John so because it's a meaty fish and it stays together it doesn't fall apart when you cook it like us you know sometimes even a catfish depending on where you catch it it may fall apart in your in your oil so anyway we'll be back when these are ready to be taken out again right there on the stand I'm gonna go ahead and get the last piece of chicken out and now we're gonna start adding our shrimp and these are gonna cook really pretty fast I kind of shake off the excess batter cause it's kind of puff up anyway and again you don't want to add a whole bunch of them because it's gonna cool it all down as much as I can go on the surface and don't cook two to three minutes and then you'll be ready to go they're brown because they go to the bottom and then come up to the surface I've tried to bump them to get them to turn does you want them Brown it all the way around you don't want it to brown on one side this is somewhat like a tempura batter dependable with the front person money back okay this is the chicken and this is the shrimp I've got one more batch of shrimp left in the fryer but we're gonna go ahead and set up the chicken and the french fries so I hope you enjoyed this video I hope you'll try this batter recipe I'll leave the recipe in a link below and if you want any more of the shrimp recipes you can find them and the playlist connected to my channel if you'd like to find me on Facebook you can find me at pots pans and pioneers and I'll see you guys on the next video find somebody the blessed [Music] you
