Fried Pickles Ingredients

Method

Fried Pickles Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Fry the Pickles

    Dip each pickle slice into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off, then carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry in batches for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the fried pickles hot with ranch dressing for dipping.
