Fried Pickles Ingredients
Method
Fried Pickles Directions
Prepare the Pickles
Slice the dill pickles into thick slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well. In another bowl, pour the buttermilk.
Coat the Pickles
Dip each pickle slice into the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it in the flour mixture. Make sure each slice is evenly covered.
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Pickles
Carefully add the coated pickles to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Flip halfway through for even cooking.
Drain and Serve
Once fried, remove the pickles and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
