I already do the poblano, Chile relleno batter, but am looking for something lighter. I want to batter fresh Jalapeños with a light coating. The skin of the Jalapeño is quite waxy by nature. I just want to dip and fry. I would rather not roast and peel. Any thoughts. CF:)

1/2 cup cornmeal
1/2 cup flour
Handful of crushed tortilla or corn chips
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

you don't need the corn chips

Mama, gonna give that a try. I hope it doesn't just slide off, because of the skin. I may have to roast the Chiles first then batter. Thanks CF :)

Great idea, I never thought about blanching them. That is a must try. CF:)
