Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Pickles
Open the jar of dill pickles and drain the liquid. Pat the pickles dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Batter Preparation
- 2
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well. In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until fully combined. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; do not overmix.

Fry the Pickles
Dunk each pickle slice into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place the battered pickles into the hot oil, a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried pickles and drain them on paper towels.
