Crispy Fried Pickles

Fried Pickles - MY Favorite!

Fried pickles are God's gift to the world. Who would have thought a little fried dill pickle could change my life forever? Saying I am obsessed with these is an understatement, so you will just have to try them!

-Ingredients-

1/2 cup buttermilk

salt and black pepper to taste

1 jar of dill pickles (16 oz)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 1/2 cups fine cornmeal 

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon Tony Chachere's seasoning

1 quart oil for frying

***lots of RANCH DRESSING for dipping!***

-Directions-

1. Combine the buttermilk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Place drained pickles in the mixture.

2. Combine the flour, cornmeal, paprika, and Tony's in a Ziplock bag. Shake the bag gently to mix the ingredients.

3. Place pickles in the bag a few at a time, and shake to coat them.

4. Heat oil on medium high in an electric skillet or heavy deep frying skillet (cast iron is a classic) Tip: the oil is ready when you throw in a pinch of flour and it sizzles.

5. Fry the pickles in the oil until crispy and golden brown...about 1-2 minutes.

6. Drain on paper towels.

Enjoy with very unhealthy amounts of ranch dressing! :)
