4 cups drained dill pickle slices or equivalent amount
of medium to large pickles, sliced 1/4-inch thick

What Do I Do???
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
Make a well in the center.
All at once, add the water, egg yolk, and pickle juice.
Stir the mixture with a wire whisk to make a smooth batter.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. In a deep fryer or large saucepan,
heat at least 2 inches of oil to 375º F.
In batches, dip pickle slices in the batter,
lightly and evenly coating them.
Without crowding, place coated slices in the hot oil.
Fry until golden and crisp, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes
Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
