Test four! Today my lovely assistant Jillian helped me with this post, deep fried pickles! Our "establishment" serves these tasty things as an appetizer and they are fairly popular among pickle connoisseurs. No silly pickle haters allowed! First, as always, grabbing the ingredients. You will needs some delicious giant dill pickles, some eggs, milk, some flour, some breadcrumbs (panko again in this case), and some cajun spice. Crack open the eggs and mix with some milk, beat lightly until just combined. then add a boatload of
cajun to the breadcrumbs, you want a 60% breadcrumbs

to %40 percent cajun mixture. Place flour in a separate bowl. Cut the pickles into 4 segments each, length wise, an place on paper towel to let it soak up some of the moisture, the less moisture the better. We used to freeze our pickles after we made them, but found that the moisture create in the ice made the batter fall off when we fried them. let them soak into the paper towel for at least 15 minutes.
Then, as Jillian demonstrates in the below pictures, dip into the egg mixture, then the flour, back
into the egg and then into the the resulting should be a nice thick layer of a breadcrumb batter. Place the pickles in the deep fryer for approximately 45 seconds or until the breadcrumbs brown. Let cool and serve with sour cream! I give this recipe 8 fries out of ten, but only if you are a pickle lover, as they are very dilly.I seemed to have lost the picture of the finished product, but will post later. Enjoy!
p.s. Thanks Jillian!
