This is a very easy snack to make, and it is delicious. Also inexpensive.

You do want to make fried pickle slices. Serve them with a cold beverage.

Ingredients: (Two generous servings)

1 cup of all purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten with a whisk

1 cup of finely ground Cornmeal

1 tbsp. of Kosher salt

1/2 tsp. of Cayenne pepper

3 cups of Peanut or Canola oil

2 large dill pickles sliced lengthwise into 1/4" thick slices, then put on a plate

Directions:

Prepare the pickle slices.

Preheat peanut or canola oil in a deep, large saucepan to 350 degrees F and maintain that temperature on low to medium heat. Use an instant read thermometer.

Put the flour into a wide shallow bowl.

Beat the eggs in a medium deep cereal bowl.

Mix the cornmeal and salt and pepper by shaking them in a Ziploc® bag.

Put the cornmeal mixture into another wide shallow bowl.

Coat a pickle slice with flour.

Dip the pickle slice into the beaten eggs to coat it.

Put the pickle slice into the cornmeal mixture and coat it.

Put the coated pickle slice into the hot 350 degrees F oil.

Repeat the coating steps and placement into the oil with four more pickle slices.

Monitor the oil temperature and increase or decrease the heat to maintain a temperature of 350 degrees F.

When each slice has fried to a light gold color remove it with tongs and place it on a paper towel lined plate.

When the first batch of pickle slices has been processed, repeat the above coating and frying steps for the next and subsequent batches until all the pickle slices have been fried.

Keep the fried pickle slices warm in a 180 degrees F warming oven.

Serve the fried pickle slices along with a cold beverage.

Enjoy!
