Ingredients

• 16 oz. dill pickle slices
• ½ cup self rising flour
• 1/8 cup corn starch
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• ½ cup cold beer pale ale works well
• 1 quart vegetable oil

Instructions

• Dry each side of the pickles on paper towels, they’ll cling onto the batter this way.
• Whisk the dry ingredients together, then add in the cold beer. Stir to combine, lumps in the batter are fine.
• Place the batter in the fridge while the oil heats up.
• Use an oil thermometer and heat 2 inches of oil in a dutch oven to 375 degrees. It’s important for the temperature to be exact. A deep fryer may also be used.
• Once heated, fry the pickles in batches. Place about 8 pickles into the batter. Pick them up one at a time and use the rim of the bowl to rid each one of excess batter, you want a thin coating and need to be able to see the ridges in the pickle.
• Use a spider strainer to carefully lower the pickles into the heated oil. Fry for about 1 ½ minutes, until golden. Use the spider strainer to remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all pickles are fried.
• Serve with Ranch or Chipotle Ranch Dressing, ketchup, or sriracha mayo, or homemade Comeback Sauce.
