Fried Pickles

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

    Drain the sliced dill pickles and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Stations

    In one bowl, pour the buttermilk. In another bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, cajun seasoning, black pepper, and salt.

  3. 3

    Bread the Pickles

    Dip each pickle slice into the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in the flour mixture.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Pickles

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve hot with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
