Fried Pickles Ingredients
Method
Fried Pickles Directions
- 1
Prepare the Pickles
Pat the dill pickle slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
- 3
Add Buttermilk
Add the buttermilk to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; the batter should be thick.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 5
Coat the Pickles
Dip each pickle slice into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off.
- 6
Fry the Pickles
Carefully place the battered pickles into the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- 7
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried pickles from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
