Ranch Dipping Sauce
Method
Fried Pickles
Prepare the Pickles
Drain the sliced dill pickles and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Make the Coating
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a dry coating mixture.
Dipping Station
In another bowl, pour the buttermilk. Set up a dipping station with the buttermilk on one side and the coating mixture on the other.
Coat the Pickles
Dip each pickle slice into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge in the coating mixture until fully coated. Set aside on a plate.
Fry the Pickles
Carefully add the coated pickles to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Ranch Dipping Sauce
Mix the Sauce
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, buttermilk, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and chopped parsley. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Serve
Transfer the ranch dipping sauce to a serving bowl and serve alongside the crispy fried pickles.
