Fried Pickle Spears
Method
Preparation
Prepare the pickles
Drain the dill pickle spears and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Make the batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Fry the pickles
Dip each pickle spear into the batter, allowing excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered spears into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Drain and serve
Remove the fried pickle spears from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
