Recipe

Fried Pickles

  • Yield: About 6 servings
[1]

Ingredients

  • 1 (16-ounce) jar whole dill pickles
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons hot red pepper sauce
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 2 tablespoons Essence, plus more for dusting
  • 4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
  • Salt

Directions

  • Drain the pickles in a colander, then spread on paper towels to drain completely.
  • Combine the buttermilk and hot sauce in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, and 2 tablespoons of Essence.
  • Heat the oil in a medium pot to 350 degrees F.
  • Submerge the pickles in batches in the buttermilk, then dip into the flour mixture, tossing to evenly coat. Shake in a strainer to remove any excess batter. Add to the oil in batches, turning, until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels, and season with Essence and salt, to taste. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Serve hot.
