Pancake-battered Sweet & Spicy Jalapeno Poppers

Step 4: Prosciutto Wrapping and Pancake Dipping

Take a long, thinly sliced piece of prosciutto and wrap it around each stuffed jalapeño separately.  Make sure to wrap it nice and tight so the pepper can't slip out or open up. 

Once all the peppers are wrapped they are ready to be cooked.  First prepare your oil in a deep saucepan or a deep fryer.  You want to have enough oil (vegetable preferably) so the poppers do not touch the bottom as they cook. Using a candy thermometer, make sure the oil is around 350 deg F.

Now you are ready to start dipping. Take a prosciutto wrapped stuffed pepper and coat it completely in the pancake batter. The batter should surround the pepper easily and not be clumpy.
