Fried Pickles

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

    Drain the dill pickle slices and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Coat the Pickles

    Dip each pickle slice into the buttermilk, then dredge it in the flour mixture until well coated.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Pickles

    Carefully place the coated pickle slices in the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried pickles from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with ranch dressing on the side.
