6. Dip stuffed jalapeños in milk, then in flour, ensuring they're well-coated.
7. Dip jalapeños in milk once more, then roll them through the bread crumbs. Let them dry on the plate for 10 minutes, then repeat the process of dipping in milk and rolling in bread crumbs once more, ensuring they are completely coated. Let them dry.
8. Dip them once more in milk, then roll them through bread crumbs, repeating the process twice.
9. Heat oil to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C) in a medium skillet.
10. Working in batches if necessary, deep-fry the coated jalapeños until they are golden brown, which takes 2 to 3 minutes. Remove them and let them drain on a paper towel.
