Fried Pickles Ingredients

Method

Fried Pickles 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 Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and milk together until combined.

  3. 3

    Combine

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until well combined and smooth.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Pickles

    Dip each pickle slice into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried pickles from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
