Ranch Dressing

Method

Preparation of Pickles

  1. 1

    Slice the Pickles

    If using whole dill pickles, slice them into 1/4 inch thick chips. Set aside.

Breading Station

  1. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 3

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until blended.

Coating the Pickles

  1. 4

    Coat the Pickles

    Dip each pickle slice first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour mixture to ensure an even coating.

Frying the Pickles

  1. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 6

    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. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried pickles to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Ranch Dressing Preparation

  1. 7

    Mix the Ranch Dressing

    In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

  2. 8

    Chill the Dressing

    Cover and refrigerate the ranch dressing for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve

    Serve the golden brown breaded dill pickles hot with a side of cool ranch dressing for dipping.
