Twisted Pickles image

The key is to not buy store bought pre-sliced dills but whole dills and slice them yourself. *For dredging, I used whole wheat flour, but you can use any type. For the cornmeal mixture, I used a combination of yellow cornmeal and a self-rising cornmeal mix from While Lily-but you can use

Number Of Ingredients 12

- canola oil for frying
1/2 cup(s) prepared ranch dressing
1/4 cup(s) sour cream
2 - or 3 large whole dill pickles
1 - egg, beaten
1 dash(es) hot sauce
3/4 cup(s) milk
1/2 cup(s) flour for dredging
1 dash(es) black pepper
1 dash(es) cayenne pepper
1 dash(es) garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) dried dill weed

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a heavy frying pan, filling halfway, on medium high heat to 350 degrees. It's hot enough when a little flour or cornmeal thrown in starts to sizzle. Then turn the heat down to medium.
  • In a medium bowl, mix ranch and sour cream. Chill until ready to serve. Set up your station in this order: flour, egg wash, cornmeal mixture. In a medium bowl, mix egg and milk. Place flour in a separate medium bowl. Mix cornmeal, flour, cornstarch or self-rising cornmeal mix (or any cornmeal mix), cayenne, garlic powder and dried dill in another bowl.
  • Slice whole pickles into about 40 paper-thin slices, drain and pat dry. Make sure they are paper thin!
  • Dip cold drained pickle slices into the flour, shaking off excess. Then dip in egg mixture and then in cornmeal mixture. Fry slices, about 8-10 at a time, 2-3 minutes on each side, or until light golden, flipping. Drain on paper towels and serve with ranch dip.
