FRICKLES (aka Deep Fried Pickles)




Okay it’s a threefer this weekend!

I had a sudden craving for Frickles, something I discovered in Cincinnati with my bff @hguthridge. It's definitely a Southern thang' y'all!

For those who love dill pickles, there is nothing like a deep fried pickle, hot out of the deep fryer, with buttermilk ranch dressing or blue cheese dressing. This is my version of it.

Ingredients


  • Sliced dill pickle chips
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 3-4 dashes of smoky paprika
  • 3-4 dashes of cayenne pepper
  • A pinch of black pepper
  • Vegetable oil - enough to fill 1/4 of a medium pot

Directions

  1.  
  2. Heat vegetable oil on stove
  3. Mix flour, paprika, and cayenne in bowl
  4. Mix egg and milk in separate bowl
  5. Drain pickles, dry.
  6. Dunk pickles in egg mixture
  7. Dredge egg covered pickles in flour mixture
  8. Deep fry in hot oil until they float to surface.
  9. Drain on paper towel
  10. Use blue cheese/buttermilk ranch for dipping sauce.
  11. Eat!
  12. Enjoy!!
