Fried Pickles

Ingredients

12 Dill pickle spears
3 cups Flour
2 Egg yolks
3/4 cup Beer -; (to 1 cup)
1 pinch Baking powder
Salt; to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper;
Oil; for frying
Ketchup; for serving

Method

Preheat the fryer. In a mixing bowl, whisk the yolks and 3/4 cup of the beer. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Whisk in enough flour to form a batter. If the batter is too thick add the remaining beer to thin the batter. Dredge the spears in the seasoned flour. Dip the spears in the batter, letting the excess drip off and coating the spears completely. Gently lay the spears in the hot oil and fry until golden-brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the spears from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Serve the spears with the ketchup.
