Fried Pickles Ingredients

Method

Fried Pickles Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

    Drain the dill pickles from the jar and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

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

  3. 3

    Coat the Pickles

    Dip each pickle slice into the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture. Ensure each slice is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

  5. 5

    Fry the Pickles

    Carefully add the coated pickles to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    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 your favorite dipping sauce.
