Elvis Fried Dill Pickles

Appetizers - Fried - -

INGREDIENTS

8 dill pickles
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup beer
1 1/4 T paprika
1 1/4 T cayenne pepper
1 1/4 T black pepper
1/2 t salt
2 t garlic salt
3 dashes tabasco sauce
Oil for deep frying

METHOD

Cut the dill pickles in slices as thick as a silver dollar. Mix together the remaining ingredients to form the batter. Dip the pickles in the batter and quickly fry in the hot oil (375F/190C) until pickles float to the top, about 4 minutes.

NOTES

Elvis came across these in pickles at roadhouses outside Memphis; fried pickles are the perfect accompaniment to beer. They are believed to have been invented at the Hollywood, a roadhouse originally in Hollywood, Mississippi.
