How to Make Beer Batter Fried Jalapeno Strips Onion Petals Pickles
- In a large bowl, whisk together the beer, flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and pepper until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the ice water until the batter is smooth but slightly lumpy.
- Prepare your jalapeno strips, onion petals, and pickle slices. Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Dip each jalapeno strip, onion petal, and pickle slice into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Carefully place the battered items into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pan.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with your favorite spicy ranch dipping sauce.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
