Most burgers are the same as German sausages. Sweepings off the floor
As McD says, "100% pure beef". Indeed, including anuses, snouts, nutsacks and other delicacies.
Thanks guys, now burgers and German sausages are ruined for me... :| :P

Think of the batter they put on fish in fish and chip shops and this is it
I thought the better fish 'n chips shops used a beer batter... :?

Then you thouoght wrong!

Beer batter is when it gets all resturanty. It causes the batter to rise slightly and produces a more doughy consistency. You will get the same effect ultimately by leaving the batter out in the warmth, which encourages the wheat gluten to get activated. Us Northerners(!) use cold, generally un-beered batter where the wheat gluten remains inactive. The resulting batter is crisper, and more resembles a tempura type batter than a doughy mess wrapped around an unfortunate fish. Ideally deep fried in beef dripping which, in case the cholesterol police are watching, is less saturated than Margarine!

HHF was right in questioning if Fish batter is like a Yorkshire Pud though, it's nothing like it whatsoever.

Agree, Peppers does a mean burger and a pretty decent curry also, read on: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=12077

Yes it is like it, not identical, but the mixing up is very similar :D .. just the difference is an egg or two in the recipie..and use plain flour instead of SR flour.

Wikipedia think so as well :wink:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batter_(cooking)

You beat it up just the same..it is not a million miles away at all :P

fish batter

4 oz (110 g) self-raising flour
½ teaspoon salt
5 fl oz (150 ml) water, plus 1 scant tablespoon

Just sift the flour and salt into a mixing bowl, then gradually add the water, whisking continuously until the batter is smooth and free from lumps


Yorkshire Pudding

175g/6oz plain flour

2 eggs

175ml/6fl oz milk (whole or semi-skimmed)

110ml/4fl oz water

2 tbsp beef dripping

salt and freshly milled black pepper
