Beer-Batter Fried Jalapeno Strips, Onion Petals & Pickles image

This is my favorite recipe for fried jalapeno strips... but it works equally as well for fried onion rings (or petals) and, if you're so inclined, it's an excellent coating for fried pickles. Try them all at once, if you like. This recipe makes plenty of batter. Serve with Spicy Ranch Dipping Sauce.
