Grandma's Secret Tip
Be sure the pickles are cold & dry. The batter will adhere better & won’t separate from the pickle while frying.

Though beer flavors the batter, you can save a little money by replacing it with carbonated water or lemon-lime soda.
Variation
Variation
Try using bread & butter pickles instead of dill. Their sweet taste goes well with the crunchy batter & spicy dipping sauce.
