Manda's Spicy Fried Pickles!
You will need:
1 egg
Splash of milk
Worcestershire sauce to taste
Franks Red Hot or Tabasco sauce to taste (I use A LOT)
Your favorite fish fry batter (I use a store brand one that's really spicy and then I add more spice. You can also use shrimp fry batter if you'd like a finer coating.)
Frying oil (You don't need a lot, just enough to submerge your pickles, which of course, depends on the size of your pan.)
Pickles of course!
Crack the egg into a small mixing bowl. Add splash of milk. Add Worcestershire sauce and Frank's. That's where you'll have to experiment. I like them SPICY, so I put A LOT of Franks in there. Add a splash of the pickle juice from your pickle jar and mix it all together. Make sure you burst the egg's yolk and blend it really well with a fork so it doesn't clump up.
Now the messy part.Pour some of your frying batter into another small mixing bowl. Drop a few pickles into your egg wash, get them nice and coated. Then drop them in your batter and coat them. Put them on a plate to the side. Repeat until you have enough pickles ready to fry, then place your plate with the pickles in the freezer. This is an important step! If you skip it, your batter will fall off of your pickles when you go to fry them. Leave them in for about five minutes, the longer the better really.
While you wait, start to heat your frying oil. You'll know it's ready when there are ripples along the top and bottom. Or you can sprinkle a little of your batter in and if it fries, it's ready.
After the pickles have been in the freezer for awhile, take them out and prepare to fry! They cook really quickly, so it's best to do a few at a time. I like to just drop in five at a time. When you drop them in, they sink to the bottom. When they float to the top, they're pretty much done. You can leave them in a little longer if you like things super fried. Scoop them out and put them on a paper towel covered plate to drain and cool. THEY ARE HOT! So let them cool before eating them. It will be tempting, but you must resist. Once they're cool, enjoy your delicious spicy fried pickles!
They're REALLY good dipped in ranch salad dressing too.
