Fried Pickles

Sitting in a restaurant one day, I was finally able to try the dish I had heard much about.  I assumed that I would love fried pickles, I mean, they were pickles, and they were fried.  What's not to love?  With some extra pickles on hand, I decided to try and make some of my own.

There are several recipes and ideas on how to batter and fry the dills, but this is the way I did it.  First I put a cup of flour, a sprinkling of salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder in a ziploc bag.  I also sliced my whole baby dills into 1/4 inch slices.  The sliced pickles were then tossed in the bag of flour until  each piece was well coated. 

The pickles were then dropped into the fry-daddy.  I stirred them carefully, so the flour wouldn't fall off too much.

 

I cooked them until they were a golden brown and then placed them on a napkin.  They were pretty good!
