Hot, super spicy and delicious habanero cheese fritters will make you cry and smile at the same time!
Ingredients:
- 1 c. sifted flour
- ½ c. corn flour
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 2 eggs
- ½ c. buttermilk
- ¼ c. milk
- 1 tbsp. melted butter
- ¼ c. sugar
- ¼ c. ground black pepper
- ¼ c. garlic powder
- 1 tbs cumin
- ¼ c. granulated sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp rosemary
- 1 medium onion, minced
- 15-30 habanero peppers, minced (depending on your heat tolerance)
- 2 c. mozzarella cheese, grated
- ½ c. sharp cheddar, grated
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients and mix well or place the ingredients in a food processor until peppers are well ground and ingredients are well mixed. Add more milk if the batter looks too dry.
Bring oil to temperature 350° F, using a small ice cream scoop, drop into hot oil – about 4 per batch. As they float up, roll them so they cook evenly. Cook them until browned, drain on paper towels and eat immediately.
You can pre-make them and finish them later by double frying. Just remove them early and drain. Then fry again right before serving at the same temperature for extra crispness.
