Ingredients
- 2 cups Low sodium dill pickle slices
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Drain the low sodium dill pickle slices thoroughly in a colander and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the buttermilk with the pickle slices and let them soak for at least 15 minutes to infuse flavor.
Step 3
While the pickles are soaking, in a separate shallow dish, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, paprika, ground black pepper, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
Step 4
Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). It's crucial to maintain this temperature for even frying.
Step 5
Take the pickle slices out of the buttermilk, allowing excess buttermilk to drip off, and dredge them in the dry flour mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
Step 6
Gently drop a small batch of coated pickles into the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried pickles from the oil and place them on a baking rack over a baking sheet or paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Repeat the frying process with the remaining pickle slices, making sure not to overcrowd the pot to prevent the oil temperature from dropping.
Step 9
Serve the crispy fried pickles immediately for optimal texture and flavor. Enjoy them as they are or with your favorite low sodium dipping sauce.
