Flour for dipping
WET BATTER
1 c Self-rising flour
1 ts Baking powder 1/2 c Buttermilk
1 ts Salt
1/4 ts White pepper
1/2 ts Paprika; (Hungarian is best)

Fry until it floats, flip and cook for one more minute.

I thought the same until I tried it with the dill dipping sauce. It really is a great fried food. Like sour fried zuchinni.

Wait... are you guys eating WHOLE fried pickles? Or even Quartered (lengthwise)???
I've never heard of this until someone mentioned the little gherkins... and then I checked out Alton's recipe. I assumed everyone did theirs the same way.
I've been down here over 20 years now, and all I've ever had are Fried SLICED Pickles. The ratio of crispy outside fried goodness to a thin layer of pickle is perfect. I can't imagine biting into anything thicker than about ¼" thick.

What Do I Need?
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup ice water
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
• 4 cups drained dill pickle slices or equivalent amount of medium to large pickles, sliced 1/4-inch thick
• vegetable oil for frying
• a large bowl
• a wire whisk
• a deep fryer or large saucepan
• paper towels
What Do I Do?
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in the center. All at once, add the water, egg yolk, and pickle juice. Stir the mixture with a wire whisk to make a smooth batter. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. In a deep fryer or large saucepan, heat at least 2 inches of oil to 375º F. In batches, dip pickle slices in the batter, lightly and evenly coating them. Without crowding, place coated slices in the hot oil. Fry until golden and crisp, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels, season while hot and serve immediately.
