Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 whole Poblano peppers
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Club soda (cold)
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Wash the poblano peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.
Slice the poblano peppers into 1/4-inch thick rings, discarding the seeds and stems.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Gradually pour the cold club soda into the flour mixture, whisking until a smooth batter forms. Do not overmix; small lumps are fine.
In a large, deep skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature to avoid overheating.
Dip each poblano ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and allow any excess batter to drip off.
Carefully lower the battered rings into the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the fried rings to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately, with your favorite dipping sauce or garnish of choice.
