2. Add 1 tsp to the container. baking powder, 0.5 tsp soda and 1 tsp. salt, then stir the dry ingredients again.

Fish frying

1. We take 300 g of cod fillet, put it on a cutting board and carefully cut all the bones with a knife. Cut the fillet into large pieces.
   
2. In a deep plate, pour 3 tbsp. l flour and lightly roll chopped pieces of fish in it.
   
3. Pour 1 liter of peanut butter into a deep saucepan and warm it well over medium heat.
   
   Important!Sometimes it is difficult to determine if the oil is warm enough and is ready for frying. To find out, just drop a few drops of the finished batter into it. If the droplets increase and begin to brown, then the oil has warmed up, and you can begin to fry our cod fillet. Also, you should not throw all the slices of fillet in batter into the oil at once, otherwise they will stick together, and you will have to spend time separating them. Place them in portions so that they float sufficiently freely.
4. We take a piece of cod fillet boned in flour, carefully cover it with a thick batter, roll it again in flour and send it to the heated oil for frying.
   
5. The deep-fried fish is fried for about 5 minutes, after which we take it out with a slotted spoon and put it on a paper kitchen towel to remove excess fat. In a similar way we do with all pieces of cod meat.
   
6. Immediately after you have laid out all the ready-made pieces of fried cod on a towel, add them with 3-4 pinches of salt and sprinkle 2 tsp on top. sweet paprika.
   
7. When the fish fried in batter has cooled slightly, put it on the dinner plate to the side dish and serve.
