I think the batter has not enough flavor, even tried adding pickle juice and onion/garlic seasoning

I made this....and this batter mixture was not all that great. I added different seasonings to add, now that part was good. But the coating came out thin and not crunchy as I would of liked. If you like soft and not crunchy coating then this would be good for you.

Just made these. Delicious! Also, I added I little garlic powder and onion powder. Yum. :) I didn't have a fry daddy so I used a small sauce pan-oil just deep enough for pickles to fit. Worked just fine.

Great classic recipe! For best results use self rising flour and I'd suggest adding some seasoning to the flour as you batter. Like Courtney said, try not to make the batter too thick or you won't get the crispy effect you crave!

Great recipe except I advise to use a little less flour so the batter isn't too thick. This way they're nice and crispy and not chewy when you fry them. Really good if you dip them in buttermilk ranch!

I made this for my son (16) and husband. They both loved these pickles. I added about 1 tbsp. of dill to the batter. What a hit!! Always looking to please "the boys" :) btw - used a fry daddy - brainless way to deep fry.
