Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dill pickle slices
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornmeal
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 medium Garlic clove, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Drain the dill pickle slices and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil stays at the right temperature.
Dip each pickle slice into the flour mixture, then into the egg wash, and again back into the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
Carefully place a few pickles at a time into the hot oil, frying them for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried pickles and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
To make the garlic mayonnaise, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, and hot sauce (if using) in a small bowl. Mix well until smooth.
Serve the fried pickles warm with the garlic mayonnaise for dipping.
