Method
Directions
Prepare the Pickles
Drain the pickle spears and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, Cajun seasoning, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, mix the buttermilk and egg until well combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Heat the Oil
In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Coat the Pickles
Dip each pickle spear into the batter, ensuring it is well coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Fry the Pickles
Carefully place the battered pickle spears into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pickles from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
