Hi Anne,
You're right, it's very much like a pancake batter. You can let it sit for a half hour to 2 hours to allow the flour to be fully hydrated. It's not really necessary, though, because the baking powder will make it puffy, so it's optional.

This recipe is great. I cut recipe in half and it came out great. I let the batter sit for about 10 min. while I made a salad. It puffed up like a tempura batter. It could use a little more salt, but other than that it was perfect. I used it on catfish and I used Bob's Big Boy Sauce from cdkitchen.com and we had a great catfish fry. Thank you for the recipe.

Worked beautifully for me. I used it to fry tilapia for fish tacos, and they were the best I've had.

The cod was just as good as anything we could have ordered in a restaurant. The batter was light and flaky, just delicious.

The recipe for beer-batter fried fish sounds like pancake mix plus beer; also do you have to let the batter sit for awhile to develop? A recipe I found says to let it sit for twelve (12) hours.
