Ingredients
- 16 slices (spears or rounds) Dill pickles
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cups (for frying) Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Drain the dill pickles well and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, Cajun seasoning, salt, and ground black pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until fully combined.
Step 4
Dip each pickle slice into the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, dip into the milk and egg mixture, and once again into the flour mixture for a double coating.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small piece of bread into it; if it sizzles and browns in about 30 seconds, the oil is hot enough.
Step 6
Carefully add a few pickle slices at a time into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 7
Fry the pickles for 3 to 4 minutes or until they are golden and crispy, turning occasionally for even cooking.
Step 8
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried pickles from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 9
Serve the fried pickles hot, either on their own or with your choice of dipping sauce, such as ranch or spicy mayo.
