Fried Pickles Ingredients

Method

Fried Pickles Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

    Drain the dill pickles and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

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

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

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

  4. 4

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F / 175°C).

  6. 6

    Coat the Pickles

    Dip each pickle slice into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

  7. 7

    Fry the Pickles

    Carefully place the coated pickles into the hot oil and fry in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  8. 8

    Drain and Serve

    Remove fried pickles from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
