Instructions
In a bowl, mix your mayo, vinegars, salt and pepper. Set aside until ready to serve.
In a large bowl, add in your flour and seasonings of choice (we are using cayenne, paprika, chili, onion and mustard powder). Mix until combined. Add in your sparkling water into the flour mixture and whisk well so there are no clumps. Chill in the fridge for up to 30 minutes.
In the meantime, drain and dry your pickle rounds with paper towels in a single layer.
Heat a deep skillet or pot with oil. Take your dried pickles and toss them in your flour/seltzer batter, shake off any excess and fry until golden brown on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Place on paper towels to dry out any oil.
Serve on a platter with your dipping sauce of salt and vinegar mayo.
