Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

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

    Prepare the Breading

    In a bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Coat the Pickles

    Dip each pickle slice into the buttermilk, then dredge in the flour mixture until well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Pickles

    Carefully add the coated pickles to the hot oil in batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried pickles with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with Caesar dressing and roasted red pepper aioli.
