Method
Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Pickles
Drain the dill pickles and pat them dry with paper towels. This will help them stay crispy.

Make the Batter
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Dip in Buttermilk
Place the buttermilk in a separate bowl. Dip each pickle slice into the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off.

Coat the Pickles
Then, dredge the pickle slices in the flour mixture until they are fully coated.

Drain and Serve
