Ingredients
3 fresh jalapeno peppers sliced into rings
Β½ cup all-purpose flour
Β½ teaspoon garlic powder
Β½ teaspoon paprika
salt to taste
pepper to taste
2 large eggs
4 ounces light beer for batter liquid
2 to 3 cups peanut or vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
1-First, heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat, ensuring it reaches the right temperature without boiling to avoid splatters.
2-In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, then mix well to create a seasoned base.
3-Add the eggs and beat the mixture into a batter, stirring until itβs smooth and well-blended.
4-Stir in the beer or soda until fully blended, creating a light and airy coating for the jalapenos.
5-Coat the sliced jalapenos in the batter in batches, making sure each ring is fully covered for even frying.
6-Fry each batch for 5 to 6 minutes, turning the slices as needed until they are golden and crispy, then remove and drain on paper towels.
7-Lightly salt the fried jalapenos while theyβre still hot for extra flavor, and serve immediately for the best taste.
