Fried pickle lovers, this recipe is awesome! The batter is similar to Japanese tempura. In the frying process, it puffs up, is crispy, and flaky. It's savory a nice contrast to the sweet bread and butter pickles. But, you could really use any thick-cut pickle. Dip the deep-fried pickles in ranch dressing for a tasty snack while watching football. When the pandemic first has us locked inside in April of 2020, we started creating the appetizers we would sometimes order when going out. These were great with our �Quarantini� cocktails. Summer�s pickles, thick cut, canned, bread and butter style, and battered with homemade ranch dressing.
