Taylor’s Jalapeno Poppers

Directions

1. Cut off stem end of jalapenos. Using the tip of a small knife, remove seeds and membrane. In a large saucepan, bring 8 cups water to a boil. Add jalapenos; cook, uncovered, just until crisp-tender, 2-3 minutes. Remove and immediately drop into ice water. Drain and pat completely dry.
2. In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 375°. In a small bowl, mix pork, cheese and barbecue sauce; spoon into jalapenos. In another bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, salt and paprika; stir in beer just until moistened.
3. Using tongs, dip stuffed jalapenos into batter; fry in batches until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Drain on paper towels. If desired, serve with white barbecue sauce.
