Cajun Fried Dill Pickles

A Southern Delicacy

My aunt sent me a ton of recipes. This one was really easy (if a little messy) and a definite crowd-pleaser for my displaced Southern cohorts.


Rating: 4
Servings: Varies



1 egg
8 ounces milk
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
5-6 drops of hot sauce
2 cups, 1 tablespoon flour (divided)
Salt
Pepper
Dill pickle slices*
Vegetable oil

1. Heat oil in frying pan at medium heat.

2. Mix egg, milk, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and 1 tablespoon flour in bowl.

3. Mix salt, pepper (to taste), and 2 cups flour in bowl.

4. Dip pickles in egg wash, then flour, then egg, then flour, then drop in hot oil and fry until golden. Remove with slotted metal spoon and drain on paper-towel lined plate.

Serve immediately.


* We tried two kinds of pickles, hamburger slices and kosher dill slices. I liked the kosher better because they were a little thicker and seemed a bit saltier, but this is likely all personal preference.
