4 medium-sized green or red bell peppers (or a combination
of both)
vegetable oil for frying
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
salt and paprika
Slice the tops off the peppers and remove the seeds; cut
each pepper into 1/4-inch rings. Place in a bowl and sprinkle enough corn
starch to coat and toss well. Set these on a rack..
Place 1 inch oil in a heavy pot or wok 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,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 rack or
paper towels. Salt and sprinkle paprika on rings while hot and just removed.
Continue until remaining pepper rings are fried, adding more
oil as needed. Serve immediately.
