Chile Rellenos

Ingredients

• 12 Anaheim chile peppers, charred and peeled
• 1 pound Cheddar cheese, cut into strips
• 1 cup milk
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon canola oil
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour for coating

Directions

Remove seeds and membranes from peppers. Stuff each pepper with a strip of cheese.

In a small bowl combine milk, the 1 cup flour, egg, baking powder, baking soda, salt and canola oil; mix well to make a batter.

Pour enough oil in heavy frying pan to reach 1 inch in depth and heat over medium-high heat. Roll each pepper in the remaining flour and dip in the batter. Fry until lightly browned on both sides.
