Fried Pickles
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Brine
If using homemade pickles, ensure they are brined properly and ready. Otherwise, use store-bought pickles.
- 2
Prepare the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of mustard, and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh dill. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
- 3
Batter the Pickles
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the buttermilk.
- 4
Coat the Pickles
Dip each pickle slice first into the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
- 5
Fry the Pickles
Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the coated pickles in batches, frying until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side). Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 6
Serve
Serve the fried pickles hot with the dill mustard mayo dipping sauce on the side.
