Coarse sea salt, if desired
1 cup ranch dressing
Instructions
Step 1
In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, table salt and beer with whisk until smooth.
Step 2
In 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy saucepan, heat 2 to 3 inches oil to 350°F. Working in small batches, dip jalapeño slices in batter. Fry in hot oil about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels; sprinkle with sea salt.

Recipe Tips
Instead of ranch dressing, serve the bites with mayonnaise mixed with lemon or lime juice.
Club soda or seltzer water can be used in place of the beer for a nonalcoholic version.
