Ingredients

  • 2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 11 ounce jar hamburger dill pickle slices
  • 2 cup buttermilk

Method

  • Preheat 8 cups of vegetable oil to 350F in a large pot.
  • Drain dill pickles in a colander and then place into a medium sized bowl with the 2 cups of buttermilk.
  • Place all dry ingredients into a bowl and mix well.
  • Take about a handful of the pickles out of the buttermilk and dredge into the seasoned flour.
  • Shake off excess flour, and place battered pickles into hot grease.
  • Be careful not to place too many pickles into the hot grease or the pickles won't fry up crisp.
  • Fry pickle slices until golden brown.
  • Continue cooking pickles until all are done.
  • Now you can make appetizers just like Hooters with this fried pickle recipe.
