Deep Fried Pickles

Origin: Southern USA
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 5-7 minutes

This is a little snack that Sarah has been wanting to make for a while. Yes you heard right, deep fried pickles. Many of us Minnesotans had never heard of this treat until we ran across the deep fried pickle stand at the "great Minnesota get together" but this has been a southern favorite for many generations.

We decided to try this Food Network recipe last week. The main ingredients in the breading are corn meal, flour, and spices. Basically you just dip the pickles in an egg wash before you batter and deep fry them. We liked the recipe, but if we were to make them again we would probably try more of a batter than a breading like they make at the fair.

This is how they turned out:



They can be served with seasoned sour cream, ranch, or cream cheese....Or just eat them plain! Don't knock it 'til you try it!




Oh, and stay tuned for some Asian cuisine we're planning to make this week! We're excited!
