Ingredients:
3 fresh jalapeno peppers sliced into rings
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
salt and pepper to taste
2 large eggs
4 ounces light beer (or use fizzy seltzer or clear soda)
2 to 3 cups peanut or vegetable oil enough to cover the battered jalapeno peppers
Directions:
Heat the oil in a large pan to medium heat. Do not let it boil.
In a large mixing bowl, add flour, garlic, paprika, and salt and pepper. Mix well.
Add the eggs and beat into a batter.
Stir in the beer (or fizzy soda).
In batches, coat the sliced jalapeno peppers in the batter.
Fry the battered jalapeno peppers in batches about 5-6 minutes each, turning as needed, until golden and crispy.
Drain on paper towels and lightly salt while they’re hot. Serve.
