Instructions
- Slice dill pickles into french fry shapes, pat dry with paper towel.Roll slices in cornstarch.Beat egg, add buttermilk, combine. Add salt and pepper, keep in mind pickles are a little salty already.Dip pickles into mixture, shake off excess and drop into flour. You can add a bit of salt and pepper to the flour mixture too. (If not coated well with flour, add more for good coverage. I like to add my flour to a plastic bag, add a few fries and shake well.)Shake off excess flour and drop into hot oil. Fry until golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
This recipe is just a simplified ingredient list, in that the larger or more pickles you have, you may need to use 2 eggs, or increase the buttermilk. If you don't have buttermilk, use regular milk. One cup of flour may not be enough, just add more. Go light on the salt until the end, because pickles are salty anyway. You can always add salt and pepper after the frying. I use a deep fryer at about 350-375° Remember the pickles don't have to "cook" you just want the coating nice and brown.
