Dill Pickles
Dry Mix
Wet Batter
Frying
Method
Prep and Station Setup
- 1
Pat dill pickle spears dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and help the coating adhere.
Dry Mix
- 2
In a large shallow dish, whisk together flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt until evenly combined.
Wet Batter
- 3
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with milk. If desired, add beer or sparkling water to lighten the batter and whisk until smooth.
Coating
- 4
Dip each pickle spear into the wet batter, allowing excess to drip off.
- 5
Roll the battered spears in the dry mix, pressing gently to coat completely. Shake off any excess coating.
Frying
- 6
Heat oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 350°F (175°C). Keep the temperature steady between batches.
- 7
Fry the coated pickles in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
- 8
Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve immediately with dipping sauce.
