Coat the Pickles
Dip each pickle slice into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the flour mixture, ensuring it is well coated.

Fry the Pickles

Drain the Pickles
Once golden brown, remove the fried pickles from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Sprinkle with additional salt if desired.
