Method
Preparation
- 1
Drain and Pat Pickles
Drain the sliced dill pickles thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 2
Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- 3
Add Water
Gradually add the cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking until a smooth batter forms. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Coat the Pickles
Dip each pickle slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
- 6
Fry the Pickles
Carefully place the battered pickles into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until they are golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- 7
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pickles from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
