Pickles! Okay I know what you are thinking, that is gross. Maybe it is, I don't know, but when I had these the other day I HAD to find a recipe for them. Try 'em out and see what you think!
Deep Fried Pickles
adapted from Jennifer Clement of Maggie's Pickle Cafe
Ingredients
- 12 dill pickle spears, chilled
- Egg wash, recipe follows
- Breading, recipe follows
- Canola oil, for frying
- Ranch dressing for dippin'
Directions
Using very cold dill pickle spears, dip pickle into egg wash and then coat with breading. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
In a deep fryer, heat oil to 375 degrees F. Alternatively, heat oil in a large, heavy pot suitable for deep-frying. Carefully add chilled pickle spears, in batches, to the hot oil and fry for about 3 1/2 minutes or until golden. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve with Ranch dressing.
