Fried Pickles

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coating

    In a shallow bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Buttermilk Mixture

    In another bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk until smooth.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Coat the Pickles

    Dip each pickle slice into the buttermilk mixture, then dredge in the flour-cornmeal mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.

  5. 5

    Fry the Pickles

    Carefully place the coated pickles into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried pickles from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with Ranch dressing for dipping.
