Method

Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Pickles

Drain the sliced pickles and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

2

Make the Batter

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

3

Prepare Egg and Buttermilk Mixture

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

4

Coat the Pickles

Dip each pickle slice into the egg and buttermilk mixture, then coat thoroughly in the flour mixture. Shake off any excess.

5

Heat the Oil

In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

6

Fry the Pickles

Fry the coated pickle slices in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

7

Serve

Serve hot with your choice of ranch, house aioli, not so secret sauce, or superfly adobo aioli.
