Chile rellenos



These chiles are small.


Cheese is cut into wedges. How much cheese? As much as you care to eat. As much as the chiles will hold. 

A batter is prepared with one egg and water, flour and masa harina. 

Masa is where the corn flavor comes from. 

Chile with a cheese wedge inside is is rolled in flour to help batter adhere. The batter is thinner than you'd imagine. The consistency of thin pancake batter, or thin as batter for crêpes. 

Water will make crispier batter than milk.


Cooked on medium low so that the cheese inside melts before the egg in the batter cooks.
