- 2Carefully place each peeled egg into a canned pimiento, ensuring the pimiento is large enough to close around the egg. Season the egg with salt.
- 3In a bowl, whisk together the flour and water to create a smooth batter.
- 4Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Dip each pimiento-wrapped egg into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully fry in the hot oil until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- 5In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring until thickened. Stir in the green chile pulp.
