Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces Pickle slices (dill pickles preferred)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Pat the pickle slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture and set them aside.
In a medium bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the dry coating.
Pour the buttermilk into a separate bowl.
Dip each pickle slice into the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge it in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure even coating. Place the coated pickles on a plate or tray.
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the oil is deep enough to fully submerge the pickles.
Carefully drop the coated pickles into the hot oil in small batches, avoiding overcrowding the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the fried pickles from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining pickles.
Serve the deep-fried pickles immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or spicy mayo.
