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.
