Fried Pickles
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Pickles
Drain the dill pickle slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the batter adhere better during frying.
- 2
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until evenly mixed.
- 3
Prepare the Wet Mixture
In a separate bowl, pour the buttermilk. This will be used to coat the pickle slices before dredging them in the dry mixture.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can use a thermometer to check the temperature.
- 5
Coat the Pickles
Dip each pickle slice into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, dredge the pickle in the dry mixture, ensuring it is well coated. Shake off any excess flour mixture.
- 6
Fry the Pickles
Carefully place the coated pickle slices into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping once halfway through.
- 7
Drain and Serve
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pickles from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
