So I've found my spin. It is definitely subject to change though. Since I'm just a college student who likes to cook, I've decided to blog about my cooking adventures, and failures. Today I tried fried pickles like I love to eat at so many southern dining institutions.
Ingredients:
2 Eggs
1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk)
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tablespoons cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons salt
3 tablespoons cornstarch
As many pickles chips as you will want to eat, I recommend against using spears.
The first thing you need is the pickle chips. I made mine with a mandolin (as you can see) out of full sized pickles. But buying a jar of sliced pickles will do just as well.
Next, prepare your egg wash and dry ingredients. Whisk two eggs together in a bowl and stir in the the cup of milk, in my case buttermilk. A fork will work just as well as a whisk if need be.
At this point, turn on your fryer so it will be hot in time (375 degrees). Add all your dry ingredients too a bowl and sift them together with anything you may have, fork, sifter, even your fingers.
Now dip all your pickle chips in the eggs wash.
As soon as each chip is coated, drop them in the bowl of dry ingredients. Make sure each chip is coated on both sides.
As each chip is fully coated move it to a separate dish.
When your fryer is hot, drop all your pickle slices into the basket and lower it slowly into the vegetable oil, canola works too.
Wait a minute and a half or until the golden rule of cooking kicks in: they're done when they're 'nice and golden-brown'.
After they cook sufficiently, let them drip outside the oil and then move them to a plate with something to absorb the excess oil like. I used a cloth towel to save on paper towels.
Find a kind of dipping sauce you like, I like peppercorn ranch. Bon appétit!
