Review: Is there a typo?

I used the recipe for the fish last night and I think there is a typo.  The recipe called for two cups of flour and six ounces of beer.  I followed the recipe and found that there was not enough liquid, even with the two egg whites (large eggs); I ended up putting sixteen ounces of beer into the batter and it worked well, even though it was lumpy.  I even tried it with mushrooms and they were good, too.  I will make this again (although two cups of flour is too much for two people) but will put the full bottle of beer in right away.  I liked the idea of salting the water for the chips and then pre-cooking them.  I put them into a warm oven to keep warm while the fish cooked.  Even though there is only one recipe, it was worth the cost of the book to have an authentic English fish and chips night at home.
