Beer-Batter Fried Jalapeno Strips, Onion Petals & Pickles

"This is my favorite recipe for fried jalapeno strips... but it works equally as well for fried onion rings (or petals) and, if you're so inclined, it's an excellent coating for fried pickles. Try them all at once, if you like. This recipe makes plenty of batter. Serve with Spicy Ranch Dipping Sauce."

  1. This was the absolute best batter for frying that I've ever tried. The batter was the perfect amount for us to do 5 medium sized jalapenos (in rings), and 2 ginormous onions into rings. Everything was perfect and crispy, even the ones that I fried first and had to sit for a while were crispy when I ate them a little later...they didn't get soggy and gross. The batter was easy to work with -- coated everything nicely and has ingredients I normally have on hand. I did use bread flour in place of the self-rising...not sure if that makes much of a difference...I just had a lot I wanted to use up. Thanks so much for posting this recipe, it will definitely be our go-to frying recipe. :)

<p>September 15, 2007: Here's a photo of me and my two girls before leaving our hotel room to go to an Avett Brothers concert. We're all huge fans of the group. We're also huge fans of each other. It's fun to have adult children. <br /> <br /> <br />--- About me: I'm an artist, and art teacher to kids kindergarten age through 8th grade. My life whirls at a breakneck pace. I teach approximately 800 students, and have 30 different classes each week. It's crazy!!! The rewards, however, are the numerous hugs and good vibes I get from my students. If I didn't have my good-looking husband to stabilize me, I'd surely be sporting a straight-jacket. Oh, and did I mention my yarn obsession? I've made hundreds of crochet items in the past few months, and have a little shop on etsy. Check out my website when you have the time:</p> 8754768"
