Fried Pickles

Ingredients

• •1 cup all-purpose flour
• •1 cup cornstarch
• •1 teaspoon salt
• •1 teaspoon black pepper
• •1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• •1 cup buttermilk
• •1 jar (32 oz) dill pickle spears, drained
• •2 quarts vegetable oil for frying
• •1/2 cup ranch dressing for serving

Directions

1. 1Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F.
2. 2Mix flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper in a shallow bowl.
3. 3Pat pickle spears dry with paper towels, then dip each into buttermilk.
4. 4Coat buttermilk-dipped pickles in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
5. 5Carefully place pickles into hot oil in small batches and fry for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
6. 6Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
7. 7Serve immediately with ranch dressing for dipping.

💡 Dry pickle slices thoroughly before breading. Brine left on the surface thins the coating and creates steam pockets that make fried pickles shed their crust.
