Equipment
- Deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot
- Paper towels for draining
- Slotted spoon
- Mixing bowls
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pickle slices drained
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup Cornmeal
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Paprika
- 2 Eggs beaten
- 1/4 cup Milk
- To taste Salt and pepper
- For frying Vegetable oil
Instructions
Step 1 – Prepare the Dry Mix
- In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Mixing the dry ingredients separately ensures an even coating on each pickle slice.
Step 2 – Mix Wet Ingredients
- In another bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs and milk.
- A tip: Whisk until you get a smooth, lump-free mixture for the best coating.
Step 3 – Heat the Oil
- Fill your fryer or pot with enough oil to submerge the pickles and heat to 375°F (190°C).
Step 4 – Dredge and Fry
- Dip each pickle slice into the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Carefully place the coated pickles in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Note: Don’t overcrowd the fryer; it can lower the oil’s temperature, resulting in soggy pickles.
Notes
- Ensure your oil is hot enough before frying to keep the pickles crisp.
- Serve immediately after frying for the best texture.
