Recipe I found...wicked good |
Fried Pickles 1/2 cup buttermilk salt and black pepper to taste 1 (16 ounce) jar dill pickle slices 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 1/2 cups fine cornmeal 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning 1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning 1 quart oil for frying 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning 1 (12 ounce) jar ranch dressing Directions: Cover a plate with parchment paper or wax paper. In a shallow dish, combine buttermilk, salt, and pepper. Place pickles in mixture and set aside. Pour the flour, cornmeal, seafood seasoning, and 1/4 teaspoon Cajun seasoning into a large, reseal-able plastic bag; shake to mix well. Add pickles a few at a time and tumble gently to coat evenly with the flour mixture. Remove and place on prepared plate. Heat oil to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C) in deep-fryer or heavy deep skillet. Fry pickles in several batches until golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside with a moist interior, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Be careful not to overcook they will get soggy fast. In a small bowl, combine ranch dressing with 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning; blend. Serve as a dipping sauce for warm pickles. |
