Ingredients

Deep-Fried Pickles

  • vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cornmeal
  • salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • 48 slices bread and butter pickles from a 16-ounce jar

Honey-Mustard Dipping Sauce

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

Deep-Fried Pickles

For the pickles, in a heavy pot, heat 2 inches of oil to 350F. Put the flour in one bowl, the beaten eggs in a second bowl, and the cornmeal in a third bowl; season the flour and cornmeal with salt and pepper.

Dip the pickles first in the flour, shaking off the excess; dip into the beaten egg, then dredge in the cornmeal to coat. Lay on a baking sheet. When all the pickles are coated, fry them in batches in the hot oil about 30 seconds or until brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer fried pickles a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve pickles hot with honeymustard sauce for dipping.

Honey-Mustard Dipping Sauce

In a small bowl, stir together all the sauce ingredients until smooth. (The dipping sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated until ready to use.)
