Fried Pickles Ingredients

Method

Fried Pickles Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Pickles

Drain the sliced dill pickles and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

2

Prepare the Breading

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

3

Add Buttermilk

Pour in the buttermilk and stir until the mixture is well combined and has a thick batter consistency.

4

Heat the Oil

In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

5

Fry the Pickles

Dip each pickle slice into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered pickles into the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes).

6

Drain and Serve

Once fried, remove the pickles with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
