BEER-BATTER FRIED PICKLE CHIPS
I had heard all about these at fairs and as appetizers in restaurants, so I thought I would look up how to make them. I mixed a few recipes together, and this is what I got. We had never had them before, and we really liked them, so we hope you do too! Really easy, and you don't need any special fryer to do it! For a variation, 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning can be substituted for the salt and pepper in the flour mixture. NOTE: If you use whole pickles, you'll need a 32 oz. jar. If the pickles are pre-sliced, you'll only need a 24 oz. jar (the ingredient listing didn't want to cooperate with me on that one).

Steps:
- If not pre-cut, cut pickles in 1/2-1/4 inch slices. Blot pickles with paper towels to remove excess moisture (I cut mine and immediately place them on folded-up paper towels, and then I blot them also).
- Whisk 3/4 cup flour with the beer. Place remaining flour, salt, and pepper in a gallon-size Ziploc bag; shake to combine.
- Pour canola oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven, and set it over medium heat; the oil should be approximately 3/4 inch deep.
- When your oil is hot (test it by sprinkling a little water in the oil, when it pops, you know it's ready), start preparing the pickle chips.
- Put all the pickle slices in the Ziploc bag with the flour to completely coat the pickles with flour. Take them out, and dip them in beer batter.
- Immediately place batter-covered pickles in the oil (about 10-15 at a time, making sure not to crowd them), careful that it may pop back, for about 2 minutes on each side or until brown.
- When they're golden, remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
- Eat plain, serve with Ranch dressing, or serve with any dipping sauce of your choice.

Steps:
- For the dip: Combine the buttermilk, mustard, egg yolk, horseradish and lemon juice in a food processor and process until the mixture forms a wet puree; add a few drops of water if needed. Drizzle in the oil until an emulsion is formed. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of white pepper. Taste and add more lemon juice as needed. Chill until ready to serve.
- For the beer-battered pickles: Heat the oil to 375 degrees in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beer and buttermilk. Stir the wet mixture into the dry mixture.
- Pat the pickle spears dry with a paper towel, dust with a little flour and coat with the beer batter. Carefully drop the pickles into the hot oil and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the dip.
Tips:
- Choose the right pickles: Cornichons or dill pickles are the best choices for frying, as they have a slightly sour flavor that complements the batter.
- Use a light beer: A light beer will give the batter a crispy texture without overpowering the flavor of the pickles.
- Make sure the batter is cold: A cold batter will help the pickles stay crispy.
- Fry the pickles in hot oil: The oil should be at least 350°F (175°C) to ensure that the pickles cook evenly.
- Drain the pickles on paper towels: This will help remove any excess oil.
- Serve the pickles hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
