Fried Pickles

Yup, fried pickles. This was meant to be an exercise in batters to determine the best for the rellenos recipe, being similar in weight and moisture. This batter is essentially unsweetened pancake batter. Fried pickles are served in local German beerhouses and the southern U.S. with ranch, as are fried kraut balls. Unexpectedly, they are quite good, then again I could dip a fried sock in ranch and it would taste good.

Ingredients

6 Dill Pickles
1 Egg
½ tsp. Baking powder
1 cup of milk
1 cup of flour
½ tsp. salt
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
Vegetable oil for frying at medium high heat, enough to submerge pickles

Procedure
