- 6 Pickle slices
- 1 cup Cooked Hill Meat Ends & Pieces
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Kinders Buttery Garlic and Herb
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 Egg
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 cup Beer of choice
- 2 quarts Vegetable oil
- Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and your seasonings.
- Step 2
Add buttermilk, egg, honey, and your cooked bacon to a bowl and whisk until thoroughly combined with the dry ingredients. Set bowl aside and let batter rest 10 minutes.
- Step 3
While batter rest, heat up your oil. We used a deep fryer, but you can easily us a deep skillet and heat it up to 350 degrees F.
- Step 4
Use a paper towel to pat dry the pickles to get any excess moisture off of them.
- Step 5
Give the batter a stir and add in your beer. The batter should be able to thickly coat a spoon while also be fluid enough to slowly drip off. if batter is too thin add a little bit of flour at a time mixing in between and checking consistency.
- Step 6
Pour batter into a tall drinking glass, filling to about 3/4 full. In a small bowl add some flour and coat each pickle then dip your Pickle into the batter; gently twisting to coat the pickle from end to end. Slowly pull the pickle out of the batter, shaking off any excess.
- Step 7
Holding the coated Pickle by one end, gently drop it into the oil, letting go before the oil touches you fingers. Cook for 3-5 minutes, using tongs to turn the pickle as needed. Use tongs to transfer your pickles to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat this step until all pickles are cooked. To speed things along, fry the Pig Fingers in batches.
