Instructions
- Wash jalapeno peppers and slice into 0.5 cm thick rings, removing seeds if less heat is desired.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
- Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients while whisking until a smooth batter forms with a consistency that coats the back of a spoon.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or deep pan to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Dip jalapeno slices into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered jalapeno slices into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding.
- Fry the slices for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried jalapeno slices and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve the crispy deep-fried jalapeno pepper slices hot with a dipping sauce of your choice.
Tips
- Use cold water for the batter to ensure a crisp texture.
- Do not overcrowd the frying pan to maintain oil temperature.
- Remove seeds from jalapenos if you prefer less heat.
