Sorry for the lack of pictures.

I know this calls for beer, but you really can't taste it, and all the alcohol cooks out, so these are safe for the young-uns.

You Will Need (7 things)

  • 1 cup Beer
  • 2 Egg(s)
  • 1 1/8 cup Flour
  • Salt To taste
  • Pepper To Taste
  • Several Pickles cut into thin slices
  • Vegetable Oil

Steps (4 steps, 45 minutes)

  1. 1

    Pour enough vegetable oil into a skillet to come up the sides about 3/4" and heat it up on the stove.

  2. 2

    Whisk together the eggs and beer.

  3. 3

    Slowly add flour to the eggy beer. You may need more or less than I've said. Make it a little thick. Batter-like.

    Add salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Dredge your pickle slices in the batter with tongs and carefully place them in the hot oil. I did between five and eight at a time.

    Turn them after about a minute. Let them sit another minute (totaling 2 minutes cooking time per slice), and then take them out and place them on a paper towel or other grease-sucking object.

    Ta-da! You've got some fried pickles! These lasted all of about ten minutes at my house.
