• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons diced dill pickles
• 1/4 cup minced onion
• 1 large egg
• 6 ounces beer or club soda

Directions

• Whisk the mayo, ketchup and mustard together until smooth. Stir in the pickles and onion. Refrigerate.
• In a large mixing bowl whisk the egg, beer and baking powder together. Whisk in the flour slowly, then the salt and continue whisking until smooth.
• Fill a Dutch oven (or use a deep fryer) with 1 to 1 + 1/2 inches of oil. Fit with a splatter screen and heat over medium heat to 340 degrees F.
• Dip pickle slices one at a time into the batter and carefully slide them into the hot oil. Fry the pickles in batches, 4 - 5 minutes or until golden.
• Drain on paper towels or wire racks.
• Divide the ground beef into 4 equal pieces then divide each piece into two. Form into 8 thin, flat patties. Season with salt and pepper.

• Stack 2 patties on the bottom of a bun, top with a few pickle spears, generously top with special sauce and lettuce.
