So im looking to make jalapeño poppers for the superbowl. i tried a test run but they didnt come out so hot and i had difficulty correcting the problem. I'd like to use a deep fry batter, instead of bread crumbs, as a coating. the restaurant down the street does this and they taste so much better.
anyhow, my issue is, either the jalapeno is cooked enough and is still crunchy, or the outside is charred. my recipe is basically:
- Jalapeno's
- cream cheese
- shredded cheddar
- bacon(cooked and cut into bits)
- flour
then the batter:
flour, cornstarch, water, soy sauce, oil.
basically i melt the cheeses and combine with bacon. slit and stuff the peppers. coat in flour, then dip in the batter and deep fry for 2-3 minutes.
i guess i somehow need to cook the jalapeno more, maybe ahead of time. i tried doing this ina pan and baking it but it either just roasted or got too soft and was to hard to work with...
i think i may try boiling them in water first... anyone have any suggestions? Also, the batter didnt stick to the pepper so easily...
