Fried Pickles & Jalapenos
Method
Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Coating
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- 2
Dip the Vegetables
Pour buttermilk into a separate bowl. Dip each pickle slice and jalapeno slice into the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Pickles and Jalapenos
Carefully place the coated pickles and jalapenos into the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.
- 5
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried pickles and jalapenos from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
