Beer Battered Fried Pickles Recipe

Ingredients for Beer Battered Fried Pickles

• Dill Pickles
• Egg
• 1 cup light beer (such as pilsner or lager)
• Baking Powder
• Season Salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying

How to Make Beer Battered Fried Pickles

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the beer, flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
2. While the batter rests, slice the pickles into spears or rounds (approximately ¼ inch thick). Pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
3. Heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
4. Dip each pickle slice into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated.
5. Carefully place the battered pickles into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the fried pickles from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
7. Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or remoulade!
