Fried Pickles

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

    Drain the dill pickle slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Make the Breading Station

    In one bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.

  3. 3

    Bread the Pickles

    Dip each pickle slice first into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally back into the flour mixture to coat evenly.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Pickles

    Carefully add the breaded pickle slices to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried pickles from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with house-made ranch dressing.
