Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Fresh cucumbers
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Dill
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Cornmeal
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Unsalted buttermilk
- 2 cups Canola oil
Instructions
Slice the cucumbers into 1/4-inch thick rounds and set aside.
In a saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, garlic powder, dill, sugar, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the brine cool to room temperature.
Pour the cooled brine over the cucumber slices in a bowl and let them marinate for 1 hour. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together cornmeal, all-purpose flour, paprika, baking powder, and cayenne pepper.
Dip the dried pickle slices into the buttermilk and then coat them in the cornmeal mixture. Ensure each slice is evenly coated.
Heat canola oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the coated pickle chips in batches, ensuring they are not overcrowded in the skillet, for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove the fried pickles with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately and enjoy the crunch of your low-sodium crispy pickle chips!
