Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Pickle slices
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Carbonated water
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Pat dry the pickle slices with paper towels to remove excess moisture and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Gradually pour the carbonated water into the flour mixture, whisking constantly to create a smooth batter. The batter should have the consistency of pancake batter, thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan or deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and begin to brown immediately.
Dip each pickle slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and then gently place it into the hot oil. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the pickles for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried pickles to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the dairy-free crispy fried pickles warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
