I had to practically sculpt the batter onto the surface, but it worked.
I had to fry one at a time because the "sculpting" process with the batter was time-consuming. But, they looked pretty. As for the taste? These Fresno peppers are every bit of the top end of their potential heat, at 10,000 on the Scoville scale...2-4 times hotter than a jalapeño. But, with ranch dressing as a dip...they're still hot enough to make my scalp sweat, but they're tasty.
Great stuff. They certainly look well battered!
