Crispy Beer Battered Fish

Simple & Delicious magazine recently published a Crispy Beer Battered Fish that looked fantastic until I saw they added milk to the batter.  I love really fried fish and wondered how it would turn out without the milk.  So I removed the milk, increased the beer and added a touch of oil to replace the fat of the milk.   I couldn't have been happier with the results.  Crispy, crunchy and a little spicy. 

Cornbread Pancakes

This is a hearty, stick-to-your-ribs pancake that's for sure. Cooked rice may seem like an odd ingredient but it's a trick I learned from my mother. I had no clue she did it because it would extend the batter and she could make more pancakes with the same amount of ingredients. I just really loved the flavor and texture.
