I wasted no time in finding recipes for bottle caps and buying the ingredients. I couldn't wait to surprise Ethan tonight. There were a bunch of recipes online, but they all seemed to be mostly the same. I guess that is a good sign (?)!
Ingredients:
-2 cups sliced jalapeno peppers; I bought fresh jalapeno peppers and sliced them, but I think it would have been fine to use the ones in a jar.
-2 eggs
-1 cup beer
-1 cup flour
-1 tsp salt
-1 tsp black pepper
-1 tsp chili powder
-1 tsp garlic powder
-oil for frying (I used canola, about a quart)
#1. Wet Ingredients in a Medium Bowl
Use a whisk to stir the eggs and beer.
#2. Dry Ingredients in a Large Bowl
Mix the flour, salt, pepper, chili powder, and garlic powder with a fork.
#3. Oil in a Deep Pot
I read that the oil is supposed to be 365 - 380 degrees, but I don't have a thermometer. I just turned the burner to Medium/Hi and waited a while.
#4. Peppers into Wet Bowl, then Dry Bowl, then into Oil
I used a slotted metal spoon. I let the peppers soak in the liquid for about a minute and then scooped them into the flour mixture. They really need to be coated. Then drop them in the hot oil and you will see them sizzle!
They fry for a few minutes (5-10) and then you can see them turn golden. You really can't mess them up, because it's not as if you will get sick if they're not "done." Scoop them out onto a few layers of paper towels.
They were REALLY good. We ate them all. And tried not to think of how much oil was swimming around in our bodies.
