Ingredients
  

  • 6 large jalapeño peppers
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • 6 oz beer
  • 2-3 cups vegetable oil, for frying
  • sour cream, to serve
  • ranch dressing, to serve

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a deep saucepan over medium high heat.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, beer, salt and pepper. Stir until smooth and there are no lumps in the batter.
  • Slice jalapeño peppers into ½ rounds. Discard stem ends.
  • Drop jalapeño slices in the batter and toss to coat them completely.
  • When oil is hot, drop a few jalapeño slices into the oil and fry them until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Fry them in small batches; do not crowd them in the pan. Turn them over while frying to ensure they brown evenly on both sides.
  • Remove fried bottle caps from the oil when golden brown and drain on a paper towel lined plate.
  • Serve bottle caps hot with a side sour cream or Ranch dressing for dipping.
