Fried Pickles Ingredients

Method

Fried Pickles Directions

  1. 1

    Preparation

    Start by draining the dill pickle slices and patting them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Coating Mixture

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.

  3. 3

    Wet Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until well combined.

  4. 4

    Dipping Process

    Dip each pickle slice into the wet mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the dry coating mixture.

  5. 5

    Frying

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot. Fry the coated pickles in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Draining

    Remove the fried pickles from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

  7. 7

    Serving

    Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
