Long John Silver's Fry Batter
2/3 C club soda
1/3 C lemon juice
1 egg
1/2 C biscuit mix
1/2 C self-rising flour

Beat all ingredients together until smooth; let stand 10 minutes. Heat oil to 385ºF. In small bowl put 1/2 cup club soda, in another 1/2 cup self-rising flour. Dip fish first into soda, then into flour. Set fish on cookie sheet till all the fish has been coated; let dry a few minutes. Dip fish in batter, let excess drip off; and deep fry 3 or 4 minutes per side. Shrimp can be done the same way if peeled and de-veined first.
