Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Dill pickle slices
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Drain the dill pickle slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the dry coating mixture.
Pour the buttermilk into a separate shallow bowl.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Dip each pickle slice into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it thoroughly in the dry mixture. Repeat until all pickle slices are coated.
Carefully place the coated pickle slices into the hot oil in small batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry the pickles for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pickles from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or spicy aioli.
