ISO Fried Pickle Recipe

[insight]

Anyone cook these? When I was in college in the midwest I got hooked on beer battered pickles (pub food!) but here on the coast I have never seen them available.

I've seen these both as fried slices and fried spears. My wife makes them with sliced pickles and I think they are good. Let me know if this is what you are looking for and I'll get the info.

I am open to whatever!

I cook them all the time. I prefer the fried slices as they fry better and are crunchier than the spears. Here's my recipe..

Ingredients:
Dill pickle slices
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
5-6 drops of Tabasco sauce (or your favorite hot sauce)
1 egg
8 ounces whole milk or buttermilk
Flour
Salt
Pepper


Directions
Mix egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, and 1 tablespoon flour in bowl.

Mix salt, pepper (to taste) with 2 cups flour.
*if you want to kick it up another notch, add cayenne pepper to the dry mix...

Dip pickles in egg wash, then flour, then egg, then flour - drop in hot oil (350 degrees) and fry until golden, 2-3 minutes.

Quality recipes above

I use home made pickle spears from the mother in law

I prefer beer batter myself

1 cup all purpose floor
1 cup beer (usually bud-lite but feel free to experiment)
1 Tablespoon of Old Bay Season
1 tsp Chili powder

Mix in bowl, then strain let set in cooler for 1 hour

Don't really need the egg if the pickles are moist, just flour (repeat if nessicary, you want a good coat of flour) then dip into beer batter ( you want to make sure batter covers whole pickle ), make sure oil is deep enough to allow pickle to float. Fry till golden crisp.


Server with a pepper-corn ranch dressing with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese

My favorites are at Hooters.

But an acceptable substitute can be had at Sonic.

We are gathering the forces to start the tasting this weekend!

 

[Smokin'Sims]

So all my wife does is dips hamburger dills in beaten eggs then dredges in cornmeal and fries. She also e-mailed me this recipe.

I think I will give some of these a shot this weekend as well.

We tried Jonas' and Breedy's recipes this weekend and both were excellent. Between the two everyone felt they were equal and different. Now I know how easy it is to prep them it may be a very bad thing....

Yup... pretty much beer batter and deep fry anything. Trust me, a misspent youth working in restaurant, slow nights anything goes.
