Ingredients
  

  • 1 16-20 oz. jar of kosher dill pickle hamburger slices
  • 1/2 cup ranch dressing plus extra for dipping
  • 1 envelope dry ranch dressing mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 cups unseasoned breadcrumbs
  • canola oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Drain the juice out of the jar of pickles into a measuring cup, and add enough water to equal 1 cup of liquid. Whisk the liquid in a mixing bowl with the 1/2 cup ranch dressing, egg and cornstarch and flour.
  • In a second bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and envelope of dry ranch dressing.
  • Place pickles in a single layer on paper towels and place more paper towels on top to dry the pickles as much as possible.
  • Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Test the oil temperature by pouring a few drops of water onto the surface. If the water sizzles, the oil is ready.
  • Dip pickles in batter, allowing any excess batter to drip off. Then dredge the coated pickles in the breadcrumb mixture, then place into the oil. Allow pickles to cook in the hot oil until they float to the top and become golden in color. Flip as necessary.
  • Remove with a slotted spoon onto a wire rack lined with paper towels. Serve warm, with ranch dipping sauce.
