Poor Man's Beer Batter Fish

Ingredients

• 1 cup beer , or as needed
• 1 container shake and pour buttermilk pancake mix , 7 ounce
• 2 pounds trout fillets
• 0.5 cups oil for frying

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. 2

   Pour beer into the pancake mix container in place of the water it calls for. Make the batter as thick or thin as you prefer. Close the lid, give it a few shakes, and boom it's done.

3. 3

   Dip fish into the batter using a pair of tongs, or if you want to dirty a dish, pour the batter in a bowl first. If you cut your fish into smaller pieces, you can toss them into the container, close the lid and shake it a couple of times, then carefully remove the coated pieces.

4. 4

   Remove the fish from the batter using tongs, and place into the hot oil. Fry the fish until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
