Ingredients

• 4 cups vegetable shortening (or vegetable oil)
• 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour, divided
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 eggs

Directions

• In deep fryer or cast iron Dutch oven, heat shortening to 365 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, salt, pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, eggs and beer. Mix until combined, set aside.
• Place remaining 1/2 cup flour in a zip top gallon plastic bag. Dry drained jalapenos on paper towels and add to the flour in the bag. Seal bag and shake to coat the peppers.
