Fried Pickles Ingredients

Method

Fried Pickles Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pickles

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Egg and Buttermilk

    In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together until well combined.

  4. 4

    Coat the Pickles

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

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

  6. 6

    Fry the Pickles

    Carefully add the coated pickles to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes).

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried pickles with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
