Fried Pickles

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

    Drain the sliced dill pickles and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Make the Breading

    In a bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Dip the Pickles

    Pour buttermilk into a separate bowl. Dip each pickle slice into the buttermilk, then dredge in the breading mixture until fully coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, 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, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove fried pickles with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with ranch dressing on the side.
