Ingredients
  

For the Pickles
  • 1 jar Whole dill pickles, sliced into spears or rounds
Dredging Mixture
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Cornmeal
  • 2 Eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper (optional) For some heat
For Frying
  • Vegetable oil For frying

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by gathering your sliced pickles and draining them well to prevent excess moisture during frying.
  2. In one bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs and milk.
  4. Place the cornmeal in a third bowl.
Dredging
  1. Working with a few pickle slices at a time, dip each pickle into the flour mixture, covering it entirely. Shake off any excess.
  2. Dip the pickle in the egg mixture and coat it in cornmeal.
Frying
  1. In a deep frying pan, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking (about 350°F).
  2. Carefully place a few battered pickle slices in the hot oil and fry for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Serving
  1. Once golden, remove the fried pickles and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all pickles are fried.
  2. Serve your crispy fried pickles with ranch or any other favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to avoid soggy pickles. Leftover fried pickles can be stored for up to 2 days in an airtight container.
