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

Directions

Step 1

Drain the dill pickle slices and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Pour the buttermilk into a separate shallow bowl.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated pickle slices into the hot oil in small batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot.

Step 7

Fry the pickles for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing or spicy aioli.
