• With sharp knife, split jalapenos in half lengthwise, leaving the stem intact. Remove seeds. Stuff 1 heaping T. filling in center of each jalapeno, then press together to seal. In large, heavy, deep pot or an electric fryer, heat 4 inches of vegetable oil to 360* F. Combine 1 c. flour and baking powder in shallow bowl and season with Essence. Place beer and eggs in mixing bowl and whisk in enough of the remaining flour to form batter. The batter should be thick, like a pancake batter. If the batter is too thick, add remaining 1/4 c. beer to thin it. Dredge stuffed peppers in seasoned flour, tapping off any excess. Dip jalapenos in batter, coating completely. Let the excess drip off. Gently lay jalapenos in hot oil, several at a time, and fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. season with Essence and serve. shopping list
