Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1 (16 oz.) jar dill pickles
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • vegetable oil, for frying
  • Dip:
  • 1/3 cup ranch dressing
  • hot sauce, to taste

Instruction

  • Heat a large pot filled with 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until roughly 365º F.
  • Remove pickles from jar and set them out on paper towels, topped with a layer of paper towels, to drain.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together milk and egg until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and cayenne.
  • Take dried pickles and coat each one in flour. Shake off excess, then dip each in buttermilk mixture. Shake off excess again and re-roll in flour mixture.
  • Working in batches of 3-4, carefully lower pickles into hot oil and fry, rotating frequently, for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Use a slotted spoon to scoop out pickles and transfer them to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining pickles.
  • For dip: whisk hot sauce into ranch dip and serve immediately with hot pickles.
