Hooter's Fried Pickles

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 11ounce jar hamburger dill pickle slices

2 cups buttermilk

vegetable oil, for frying

Preheat 8 cups of vegetable oil to 350 degrees F in a large pot.

Drain dill pickles in a colander and then place into a medium sized

bowl with the 2 cups of buttermilk.

Place all dry ingredients into a bowl and mix well.

Take about a handful of the pickles out of the buttermilk and

dredge into the seasoned flour.

Shake off excess flour, and place battered pickles into hot grease.

Be careful not to place too many pickles into the hot grease or the

pickles won't fry up crisp.

Fry pickle slices until golden brown. Continue cooking pickles

until all are done.
