Snack: Jalapeno Bottle Caps With Blue Cheese Dip

A fried, spicy appetizer with cool blue cheese dip.

Ingredients

peanut oil, for frying
1 cup fry mix, recipe follows
8 tablespoons beer
3 (3 1/2 oz) jalapeno peppers, trimmed, seeded, and sliced crosswise 1/4-inch thick
3 cups self-rising flour
1/2 cup self-rising white cornmeal
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 teaspoon crushed black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup (2 oz) blue cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup finely chopped green onions, white and light green parts

Instructions

Heat the oil in a deep skillet to 375 º.
While the oil heats up, combine the fry mix with the beer, stirring until smooth. Toss the jalapeno slices in the batter. Using a slotted wooden spoon or tongs, carefully lower the jalapeno slices into the oil. Fry for about 2 minutes, turning them often to brown evenly. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt. Serve immediately with Blue Cheese Dip.
