Fried Banana Peppers

Want a quick, tasty appetizer to serve at your next get together?  Try fried banana peppers!  Apart from the delicious, crunchy, vinegary bite...they take only about 5-10 minutes per batch!
Ingredients:

• Canola/vegetable oil
• Jar of banana peppers
• Salt/seasoning salt
• Flour

Mix flour and seasoning salt together in a bowl.  Add the banana peppers (get them out of the jar with a fork so you don't get a ton of juice in the flour) and coat them with the flour.

In a small skillet, add a shallow amount of oil and crank the heat to medium-high.  When the oil starts to ripple, it's probably ready.  To check, put a few sprinkles of flour in the oil and if it sizzles, it's ready.  DO NOT ADD WATER -- it could pop and spatter all over and potentially be very dangerous if you do.

Put a few banana peppers in the oil and watch them very closely.  Do not leave these unattended.  Flip them over every so often until they are golden brown.

When they are golden brown, fish them out of the oil with a fork (or a spider strainer) and place them on a paper towel lined plate.  Sprinkle with a pinch of salt for taste.  Serve alone or with a dipping sauce.  These are sure to please!
