pretty excellent. nice crunch to the batter. i used half and half because i didn't have milk. served it with sour cream and a nice baby tomato-basil salad with balsamic.
Substituted soymilk to make them vegan, and they turned out delicious!
I like them but, a bit on the heavy side and oily. How to avoid that in a fritter,I don’t know. Nice crunch, my jalapeño did not deliver the heat. Added some hot pepper flakes in the second batch. Served with sour cream and dill. Quite tasty and fresh tasting.
I've made this a dozen times over the last few summers, and find that sweet chili sauce is a nice condiment to serve with it. It's a family favorite.
excellent and easy. Great side dish for grilled meat and chicken,
These had a nice flavor with the peppers and other flavorings. Easy and fast. Will make again.
