1/2 scotch bonnet pepper, minced
3/4 cup water

Instructions

1

Boil salt cod in water for 15 minutes to reduce saltiness, then drain, cool, and flake.

In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 tsp baking powder.

4

Pour in 3/4 cup water gradually and mix until a thick batter forms.
5

Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Questions

Can I make Stamp and Go gluten-free?

Yes. The gluten in this entry is 1 cup all-purpose flour. Swap the flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend (where it only thickens a sauce, half as much cornstarch also works). Everything else proceeds as written.

How long does Stamp and Go keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within two days (seafood turns fast). Reheat uncovered in a 400 F oven (or an air fryer) for a few minutes to bring the crust back; the microwave softens it.

Can I halve or double Stamp and Go?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
