Stuffed chiles are simply delicious but they taste even better when battered! Get your egg whites, egg yolks, baking powder, wheat flour, oil, and stuffed chiles ready and follow this step-by-step to learn how to batter stuffed chiles to perfection!
Using a mixer, whisk eggs until white and doubled in size. Lower speed and add egg yolks one by one. Add baking powder and sift flour on top. Whisk gently. The egg whites must be thoroughly whisked and the egg yolks must be added gently one by one. The egg yolks will deflate the egg whites a bit since they contain fatty acids that remove some air from the mixture. The baking powder and the flour help counteract the effect. The flour will give a better consistency to the batter, making the bubbles tighter and resulting in a more even texture and browning. likewise, the baking powder will improve the texture of the batter by making it fluffier.
Coat each stuffed chile in flour and dip in batter.
Immediately dip chile in a deep skillet with plenty of hot oil. As soon as you dip the chile, spoon hot oil over it. Flip the chile and brown for about 5 more minutes.
Drain chiles on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
