Disney Shared Its Recipe For Fried Pickles & Zesty House Sauce

The parks may be open, but you can still whip up some Disney magic at home.

Disney decided to share the recipe for one of the most popular menu items from Disneyland in California. The fried pickles from Carnation Café are "deep-fried bites of tart, salty, crunchy" goodness that have been a staple in the park since 2012. In addition to the fried pickle recipe, Disney Parks Blog also shared the recipe for the accompanying house-made zesty dipping sauce.

Disney Parks Blog notes that because this recipe has been converted from a larger quantity in the restaurant kitchens the flavor profile may vary from the restaurant’s version, but that doesn't mean they won't still be tasty. The recipe yields a dozen fried pickles.

Here's everything you'll need for Disney's fried pickles and zesty house sauce:

Zesty House Sauce

• 1 1/2 teaspoons favorite Sriracha sauce
• 1/2 cup favorite ranch dressing

Fried Pickles

• 1/2 cup flour
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
