am looking for a recipe for fried dill pickle spears found at happy chef and Joensys?

Question

We love the fried pickles at these two local resturants, and would like to make them at home. Does anyone know the batter recipe used at happy chef and Joensys in Iowa. The texture of the batter seems to me to be cornmeal, but am not sure.. They are delicious..

Answer 3

they probably are. you can mix about 1/2 c of cornmeal with 1/2 c. flour and then dredge your pickle slices thru them and then deep fry. they'll come out nice!
