Beer Battered Fried Pickles

Pour enough oil in a large skillet so that the oil is about 1-2 inches up the side of the pan. Or use a deep fryer if you have one. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F.

Slice pickles into ½-inch slices. Set aside.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and beer. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Whisk in enough flour to form a batter. If the batter is too thick, add up to 1/4 cup additional beer to thin the batter.

Using tongs, dip pickles one at a time into the batter and then place in the heated oil. Fry pickles for about 2 minutes, flipping the pickle after about 1 minute.

Place pickles on a plate lined with paper towels and season with salt. Serve with ranch dressing.
