Deep-Fried Pickles

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well. Gradually add cold water, whisking until a smooth batter forms.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  3. 3

    Coat the Pickles

    Dredge the dill pickle slices in the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  4. 4

    Fry the Pickles

    Carefully drop the battered pickles into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve hot with house-made Ranch dressing on the side.
