A fun and crispy snack, these curly fried pickles are coated in a spicy buttermilk batter and crushed Doritos, then either fried or air-fried until golden brown.
In a bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of paprika, and a teaspoon of salt. In another bowl, combine 1 cup of buttermilk with 1 egg and 1/4 cup of hot sauce. Combine the buttermilk mixture with the all-purpose flour mixture. For the curly pickle, stick a wooden skewer inside and run your knife along the pickle diagonally, making sure the skewer prevents the pickle from being cut all the way through. Coat the pickle in a bowl of all-purpose flour, then coat it in the buttermilk mixture, and finally in a bowl of crushed Doritos. Fry the pickles at 375 degrees F for 3 minutes or until crispy OR air fry it at 400 degrees F for 10 minutes.
