Fried Pickles

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

    Drain the dill pickle slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Make the Breading Station

    In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. In a third bowl, add cornmeal.

  3. 3

    Bread the Pickles

    Dip each pickle slice first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with cornmeal, pressing lightly to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Pickles

    Carefully add the breaded pickles to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the fried pickles warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
