Fried Pickles Ingredients

Method

Fried Pickles Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Breading

    In a medium bowl, mix together flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Wet Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined.

  4. 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).

  5. 5

    Bread the Pickles

    Dip each pickle slice into the wet mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in the dry mixture. Ensure they are fully coated.

  6. 6

    Fry the Pickles

    Carefully place the breaded pickle slices into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried pickles from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with ranch dressing on the side.
