Disney's Fried Pickle Recipe

Disney released Carnation Cafe’s world famous fried pickle recipe so I thought I’d give it a try. Frying the pickles is pretty straight forward, but the zesty house sauce takes them over the top. If you’re a fan of fried pickles, this is a really easy recipe to make at home. Enjoy!

To make the pickles:

1. Heat oil to 365F.

2. Place flour in a shallow bowl.

3. Place beaten eggs in a 2nd shallow bowl.

4. Combine the panko bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese in a 3rd shallow bowl.

5. Coat each pickle spear in flour, then egg, then panko/parmesan; set aside until oil reaches 365F.

6. Fry pickles spears for 4-5 minutes or until deep golden brown (don’t crowd pan - you may need to fry in several batches).

7. Remove pickles from hot oil with mesh or wire strainer/skimmer/spider and serve with Zesty House Sauce.

Notes

• Feel free to cut the pickle spears in half lengthwise if you like.

• No lime juice? No problem, just use lemon juice, but cut the amount back to 1/2 teaspoon.

• Leftover Zesty House Sauce can be used as a salad dressing or hamburger sauce.
