  • Crispy Fried Fish

    Crispy Fried Fish

    Crispy Fried Fish

    Do you love this crispy batter-dipped fish? Crispy on the outside, with the fish cooked perfectly on the inside, it is hard to resist this fish.

    Growing up, this was a favorite restaurant of mine. I remember when the Long John Silver’s first opened in Pueblo, Colorado. My family got in the car, and we soon munched on this fish.

    This batter is very close to the Fish and Chips served overseas. This recipe is unique because the fish is crispy, but it isn’t done with a beer batter. Club soda is the key ingredient that makes this crispy fish batter special.

    The batter has baking soda and baking powder in it, and when combined with the club soda, it gives the batter a unique lift you will love.

    What Makes This Recipe The Best Copycat Long John’s Fish Batter Recipe ?

    Fish sticks are a staple fast food favorite on both sides of the Atlantic. While England may have a stronger tradition of fish and chip shops, a few popular chains exist in the US, including Long John Silver’s.

    For over 50 years, the brand’s restaurants have been churning out deliciously crispy fried fish. While you won’t find Long John Silver’s everywhere, once you taste the crispy batter of their fried fish, you’ll want to enjoy it often. With this tried and true copycat recipe, you can make it anytime!

    Why This Is One Copycat Long John Silvers Fish Batter Recipe You Must Try ?

    This version doesn’t attempt to recreate the classic heavier flavor of Britain’s fried fish. Instead, the battered fish recipe below goes with a more pronounced mixture of seasonings and club soda that recreates the taste of the Long John Silvers fish batter recipe.

    Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cups club soda
    • ½ tsp salt
    • ½ tsp baking soda
    • ½ tsp baking powder
    • 1 ½ to 1 ¾ cup all purpose flour
    • 4 tbsp cornstarch

    Instructions

    Instructions

    FIRST STEP:

    Heat the oil in a skillet
    Begin by combining the dry ingredients, salt, baking powder, flour, cornstarch and baking soda

    SECOND STEP:

    Gently stir in the club soda. You do not want to over stir because the bubbles will pop and dissipate.

    THIRD STEP:

    Fry the fish as soon as you have coated it with batter.

  • Easy & Delicious No-Knead Cheese Bread

    Easy & Delicious No-Knead Cheese Bread

    Easy & Delicious No-Knead Cheese Bread

    Table of Contents

    Ingredients:

      • All-Purpose Flour: 3 cups, plus extra for dusting
      • Salt: 1 ½ teaspoons
      • Instant Yeast: ½ teaspoon (or active dry yeast)
      • Warm Water: 1 ¼ cups (around 95°F – 105°F)
      • Olive Oil: ¼ cup
      • Shredded Cheese: 1 – 1 ½ cups (cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, or a combination)

    Instructions:

      1. Combine Dry Ingredients:
        • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and instant yeast.
      2. Make the Dough:
          • Pour in the warm water and olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hand until a shaggy dough forms. The dough will be sticky but manageable.

         

      3. First Rise:
        • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel to prevent drying out. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 3-5 hours, or until doubled in size.
      1. Incorporate the Cheese:
        • Once risen, gently fold in the shredded cheese with a spatula. Reserve some cheese if desired for sprinkling on top before baking.
      2. Shape and Second Rise:

      3. Bake the Bread:
        • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Remove the lid or cover from the Dutch oven/baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    • Cheese Variations: Experiment with different cheeses like Monterey Jack, Gruyere, or Gouda. Add herbs like rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.

    Serving Suggestions:

      • With Soups: Pair with your favorite soup for a comforting meal.
      • With Salads: Serve alongside a fresh salad for a complete lunch or dinner.
    • As a Snack: Enjoy warm with a pat of butter.

    A Chocolate and Vanilla Marbled Cake Roll is a dessert featuring a delicate sponge cake that’s beautifully swirled with both chocolate and vanilla batter. Once baked, it’s rolled up with a creamy filling, typically whipped cream or cream cheese frosting. The result is a visually stunning treat with a perfect balance of flavors and textures. It’s a popular choice for tea parties, celebrations, or simply a decadent afternoon snack.

    Creating a cake roll involves a delicate process. The batter is made by whipping egg whites into a meringue, and then gently folding in the yolk mixture. The batter is divided into two parts: one plain and one with cocoa powder added. The two batters are swirled together in a baking pan before baking. Once baked and cooled, the cake is carefully rolled up with a creamy filling.

    Tips

    • Spend enough time whipping the eggs and sugar together. This incorporates air into the batter, creating a light and fluffy cake.
    • Use a high-quality cocoa powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
    • Use room-temperature eggs and milk for even mixing and a smooth batter. Cold eggs can take longer to whip and lead to a denser cake.
    • When adding flour, fold it in gently with a spatula until just incorporated. Over mixing can deflate the air you’ve whipped into the eggs, leading to a tough cake.
    • Keep an eye on your cake during baking. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. Over baking can make the cake dry and crack when rolling.
    • Don’t wait for the cake to cool completely before rolling. Roll it up while still warm (but not too hot to touch) to prevent cracking.
    • Once rolled, let the cake cool completely before unrolling and filling. This allows the cake to set and hold its shape better.
    • Resist the urge to pile on the filling! Too much filling can make the cake burst open when rolled.
    • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal of the cake after baking.

    How Do I Prevent My Swiss Roll From Cracking?

    To prevent cracking, it’s crucial to roll the cake immediately after baking while it’s still warm and pliable. Also, ensure you don’t over bake the cake as a dry cake is more prone to cracking.

    What Can I Substitute For Olive Oil In The Recipe?

    You can replace olive oil with neutral-flavored oil like vegetable oil or canola oil. For a richer flavor, consider using melted butter.

    Can I Make This Recipe Gluten-Free?

    Yes, you can make this recipe gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. Ensure you use gluten-free baking powder as well.

    What Other Fillings Can I Use Besides Whipped Cream And Cream Cheese?

    You can experiment with various fillings like chocolate ganache, pastry cream, or even fresh fruit curd.

    How Can I Make This Recipe Vegan?

    To make this recipe vegan, use vegan egg replacerplant-based milk, and vegan butter. For the filling, opt for vegan whipped cream and vegan cream cheese.

    Can I Make This Roll Ahead of Time?

    Of course you can! Since it requires cooling in the fridge after baking, preparing it in advance actually helps enhance the texture and flavor. You can make the cake, store it in the fridge, and then fill it with the cream before serving. Just make sure to keep it tightly wrapped to prevent it from drying out.

    Can I Freeze The Swiss Roll?

    Fantastic news: yes! To do so, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap before adding the cream filling, and place it in an airtight container. You can freeze the cake for up to 2-3 months. When ready to serve, thaw it in the fridge overnight and add the cream filling before serving for the best texture and taste.
