Thanks for all the responses guys! I'd totally forgotten to check back on this thread! My home-grown were killed by an early frost here in Michigan a few weeks ago and I haven't attempted a batch since. Poppers that is, I tried a different non-breaded recipe with the four peppers we managed to harvist (plain peppers filled with a cream cheese, bacon and cheddar mix). They turned out good but not what we like (cream cheese filled, breaded and baked).
What I mean is like the TGIF's poppers that we get in the freezer section. We're leaving for a long stay in South Africa sometime soon (up in the air), so I may not be able to respond for awhile to your posts.
screamincheetah: I agree it's a pain in the ass, however, we don't deep-fry, we bake the poppers, or rather we'd like to, which is the point of this thread. Assuming your (meaning anyone) someone who likes to cook, it's a hell of a lot cheaper to make your own poppers (Jalapeno's are cheap as!) than to pay $3.50+ for a half-dozen (or 12 halves) of frozen poppers.
We only have 4 peppers that came to maturity after the frost killed our first batch. As I said, we're in preperations to go to South Africa soon so I'm pretty busy, but I will post as soon as I try a new batch of poppers, whether before we leave or when we get back home!
