Method

Preparation of Pickles

  1. 1

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

Batter Preparation

  1. 2

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 3

    Whisk in the buttermilk until the batter is smooth and well combined.

Frying

  1. 4

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

  2. 5

    Dip each pickle slice into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated, and then carefully place it in the hot oil.

  3. 6

    Fry the pickles in batches for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.

  4. 7

    Remove the fried pickles with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Dipping Sauce Preparation

  1. 8

    In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, and garlic powder until well combined.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve the fried pickles hot with the UGA Ranch on the side for dipping.
