Servings 2 Sandwiches
Calories 128kcal
Ingredients
For the Beer Batter:
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine salt
- 1 bottle 12 oz beer. I used Corona but any regular wheat beer will work.
To Make the Sandwich:
- 4 slices white or wheat Bread
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 6 oz Cream Cheese softened
- 2 sliced Jalapenos
Instructions
To Make the Batter:
- Combine the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk to combine.
- Add enough beer to make the batter thin enough to dip the bread in...I used about 3/4 of a bottle so start with a half bottle and continue to add until the desired consistency.
To Make the Sandwich:
- Dip each bread slice into the batter, covering both sides. Fry in a medium hot frying pan with enough butter in the bottom to not have it stick to the pan.
- Spread the cream cheese on one side of each slice of bread; top one side with japapeno slices and return to the skillet until the cheese is softened and warm. Put the two sides together, cut in half and serve.
- Optional: serve salsa on the side
Notes
There is enough beer batter for approximately 4 sandwiches.
