These are really good. The heat depends on the pepper, I have had them very mild and taste bud burnin hot. They are best eaten fresh but are good reheated.

i dont know what i did wrong but i could not get the batter to stick to the outside of the jalepeno slices...i ended up having to pack about a half a tsp to the cut sides & made little mini "jalepeno burgers"...they tasted great!

    Delish!! I used a Michelob Amberboch for the beer and also used jumbo slices of jalapenos. These are great dipped in ranch dressing.

    Yipee! These babies are something else! I got some jumbo jalapeņos so that the slices would be easier to work with. I used New Mexico Chimayo chile powder which has a wonderful sweetness (I think) to it. This recipe would be easy for one person to make, but it was so much fun to have DH help me make them. This recipe will have permanant place at cookouts. Thanks, riffraff for sharing this great recipe.

    Wow... these little peppers were awesome! I followed the directions exactly, except that I dipped the pepper slices in flour first before dipping them in the batter. The extra flour seemed to help the batter stick to the pepper during frying. I used large jalapenos and they were hot, but we still ate them plain, right off the plate. However, these peppers would have been good dipped in ranch dressing or topped with melted cheddar cheese. Thanks Riff for a great recipe! I know we will be making these again!
