French-Fried Pepper Rings
Air Date: 4/29/2008
4 to 5 servings
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 medium-sized green or red bell peppers (or a combination)
Vegetable oil for frying
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slice the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds; cut each pepper into 1/4-inch rings. Place 1 inch oil in a soup pot and heat over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, with an electric beater on medium speed, beat milk, flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt until smooth. Dip a few pepper rings into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip back into bowl. Reduce heat to medium and carefully place rings in oil one at a time; fry 2 to 3 minutes, until golden, turning halfway through cooking. Drain on paper towels.
Continue until remaining pepper rings are fried, adding more oil as needed. Serve immediately, or keep warm in a 200°F. oven until ready to serve.
