This may sound like a strange question but does anyone know how to make fried dill pickles??? I had some at the Mountineer Restaurant in Maggie Valley and I loved them. My husband said why don't you ask your friends if anyone has a receipe so I'm asking.

Stir flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt into a large bowl.
Make a well in center, add water, egg yolk, and dill pickle juice, at the same time.
Stir with wire wisk to make a smooth batter.
Cover bowl and refrigerate 30 minutes.
Heat at least 2 inches of oil in deep fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Thanks, Evey, for those recipes. I'm going to try them, myself. I love good fried pickles, but the times I've tried to duplicate them, they turned out so-so. I like to eat them with white gravy. Yummy!
Hasn't anyone read the warnings about fried foods and trans fats lately. They clog your arteries and are very, very bad for you! O.K. now with that public service message out of the way. Where can I get about a half dozen.
Southerners have been eating fried foods for years, and we're still here! At least when we die of those clogged arteries, we die happy, full of good food! Seriously, I go with my granny's thoughts on this, "Have a little bit of everything, but not too much of anything". I think it's good advice. Moderation is the key. While I know I should not eat too much in the way of fatty foods, etc., I am not going munch on tofu and alfafa sprouts all the time either, (actually, I'll eat the sprouts. Won't touch the tofu ).
Elfyum, I have no idea if you could even find any down in Miami, (I think that's where I remember that you were from). If you ever come up to the Fort Walton Beach/Pensacola area, go into Milton, to Big T's. It's right on Hwy. 90, going straight through town.
Exhdo1, I would defy you to eat only half a dozen of them, especially with white gravy or ranch dressing, (some folks like the dressing. I like the gravy better). Kind of like that old Lay's potato chip commerical. Only, in this case, you can't stop at six!
I could eat half dozen EASY, I like the ranch dressing
