Fried Pickles Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the pickles

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

2. 2

   Set up the breading station

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

3. 3

   Bread the pickles

   Dip each pickle spear first into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the cornmeal mixture. Ensure they are well coated.

4. 4

   Heat the oil

   In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

5. 5

   Fry the pickles

   Carefully add the breaded pickle spears to the hot oil in batches, frying until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

6. 6

   Serve

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