**Fried Pickles**
Makes 12 fried pickle slices
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
**Ingredients:**
* Oil, for frying
* Sandwich sliced dill pickles, about 12 slices
* 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
**Batter:**
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 teaspoon paprika
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* ½ teaspoon black pepper
* 1 teaspoon salt
* ½ teaspoon dried dill (optional)
* ¼ teaspoon baking soda
* 1 cup buttermilk
* 1 egg
**Directions:**
1. In a pot large enough for the pickle slices and fit for frying, preheat the frying oil to 350-to-370 degrees Fahrenheit (150-to-190 degrees Celsius.
1. Place the pickle slices on paper towels or kitchen towels, and pat to dry.
1. In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, baking powder, black pepper, salt, dried dill and baking soda, and stir to combine.
1. In a small bowl, add the buttermilk and egg. Whisk until fully combined.
1. Add the buttermilk-and-egg mixture to the mix of dry ingredients, and mix until smooth.
1. Place about ½ cup of the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Reserve the rest of the breadcrumbs for adding later, as needed.
1. Dip each pickle slice in the batter, and then gently toss each one in the breadcrumbs. Let the coated pickles sit in the breadcrumbs for a minute or so, as doing so will help them stick. Add more of the 2 cups of breadcrumbs as needed, working batches, as the breadcrumbs do not stick as well once they have batter on them.
1. Working in small batches, fry the battered and coated pickles for 3 to 4 minutes, or until brown and crispy.
1. Serve with ranch dressing or your choice of dipping sauce.
SquishedGremlin: My cockatiel is called pickles, you monster.
MoistCreamPuffs: This is a scary coincidence.
For at least a week now I’ve been craving fried pickles, *and I don’t even like pickles*. Not by themselves, at least. I can handle relish, but the only time I can enjoy pickles is on a burger.
Anyway, I digress, this gif randomly shows up in my feed and now I can make fried pickles and get rid of this annoying craving.
Thanks!
TheLadyEve: That’s interesting, I’ve always had them in rounds instead of long slices. With the long slices you run the risk of having the breading slide off–also, with the rounds I find you get crispier results, which I like.
oliviathecf: I love fried pickles! I’ve only made them a few times but they’re really good with a beer batter.
bulldog0256: If anyone cares, I’ve had success with just coating pickles and frying them instead of using batter and bread crumbs. I do pickle chips, toss in flour with desired seasoning (I like Tony’s Creole), fry for 2 minutes in vegetable oil at 350. Remove, serve immediately.
yasuro: *sigh*.
I have oddly strong feelings about this recipe.
IMHO, always use Spears, never slices, and use Claussens and not vlassic (in the U.S.).
docc2183: I tried this once. I nearly burned my kitchen down. I don’t fry things anymore.
I was very surprised how calm I stayed after burning my hand with hot oil and seeing my stove on fire. Fortunately I had a fire extinguisher.
Be careful frying things!
JustTheTip___: Wow these look delicious !!
OrangeGP: To be fair…
coldpepperoni: I just made a bunch of pickles, this will make them even better
gift-of-the-nile: Texas Roadhouse serves this and my cousin ordered lots of it. I’m gonna send her this recipe
Oddstrider: “The healthy option”
melodimae: Where are the measurements for each ingredient? I really want to make them today, but I need the details. Anyone know a link to this recipe’s site with the info?
Edit: god dammit I found the full recipe a couple comments up….disregard this please
Derbyavs: Watching this gave me indigestion
Hardstyler1: Americans just love deep frying stuff. But I gotta try these
Ducey1984: You dodged a bullet in the title, saying fried and not deep fried. Very unforgiving sub.
