Ingredients
12 sandwich-sliced dill pickles (about 12 slices)
1–2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Oil for frying
Batter:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon dill (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oil to 360-370°F (182-188°C). In a small bowl, whisk together Panko breadcrumbs, cayenne pepper, and ½ teaspoon salt.
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, milk, baking powder, egg, paprika, black pepper, and dill until smooth. Let the batter rest for at least 5 minutes.
Dab the pickle slices dry with paper towels.
Place about ½ cup of Panko breadcrumbs in a separate bowl. Dip each pickle slice in the batter, then gently coat with the Panko breadcrumbs. Place the coated pickles on a baking sheet and let them rest for a few minutes to ensure the crumbs stick better.
Fry the pickles in small batches for 3 to 4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle with salt.
Serve with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce.
