Pickles

Breading

Frying

Dipping Sauce

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

    Drain the dill pickle slices on a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This step helps the breading stick better.

Breading Process

  1. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station: one with flour, one with a mixture of cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, and one with beaten eggs mixed with milk.

  2. 3

    Bread the Pickles

    Take a pickle slice, first dip it in the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the cornmeal mixture. Repeat until all pickle slices are breaded.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread in it; if it sizzles, it's ready.

  2. 5

    Fry the Pickles

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

  3. 6

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once fried, remove the pickles from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Serve the fried pickles warm with ranch dressing on the side for dipping.
