How to make Fried Pickles

This is so yummy and easy to do at home!

Mix the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder together in a glass bowl and create a well.  Mix the egg yolk, water, and pickle juice together, and then pour into the well, whisking.  Once batter is well mixed, put into the fridge for 30-40 minutes.

In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs and seasonings together.

With one hand, dip the pickles into the batter.  With the other, dip into the breadcrumbs.  Lightly pat the pickle to make sure the breadcrumbs adhere.

Then, fry the pickles in batches of about 6 in oil over medium heat until golden brown.  Serve with ranch dressing or a yogurt sauce.  Enjoy!
