Ranch Dressing

Method

Pickles Preparation

  1. 1

    Drain and Dry Pickles

    Drain the sliced dill pickles from their brine and lay them out on paper towels. Pat them dry to remove excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Prepare Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third bowl, combine the cornmeal, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  3. 3

    Coat the Pickles

    Take each pickle slice, dredge it in flour, dip it in the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the cornmeal mixture. Make sure each slice is well coated.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

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

  2. 5

    Fry Pickles

    Carefully add the coated pickle slices to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  3. 6

    Drain and Cool

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pickles from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Ranch Dressing Preparation

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, buttermilk, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined.

  2. 8

    Refrigerate

    Cover the ranch dressing and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 9

    Serve

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