12   Dill pickle spears
  Emeril's Essence - see * Note
3 cups 187g / 6.6ozFlour
2   Egg yolks
3/4 cup 177mlBeer - (to 1 cup)

Recipe Instructions

* Note: See the "Emeril's Essence Information" recipe which is included in this collection.

Preheat the fryer.

Season the pickles with Emeril's Essence. Season 1 cup of flour with Essence.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the yolks and 3/4 cup of the beer. Season the mixture with salt and pepper. Whisk in enough flour to form a batter. If the batter is too thick add the remaining beer to thin the batter.

Dredge the spears in the seasoned flour. Dip the spears in the batter, letting the excess drip off and coating the spears completely. Gently lay the spears in the hot oil and fry until golden-brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the spears from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the spears with Essence. Serve the spears with the ketchup.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
