FRIED PICKLES AND RANCH RECIPES

Steps:

• Using only very cold dill pickle spears, dip pickle into egg wash and then coat with breading. Repeat until no pickles remain, and arrange dipped pickles on a sheet pan lined with waxed paper. Chill for at least 30 minutes. 
• In a deep fryer, heat oil to 375 degrees F. Alternatively, heat oil in a large, heavy pot suitable for deep-frying. Carefully add chilled pickle spears, in batches, to the hot oil and fry for about 3 1/2 minutes or until golden. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve with Ranch Dressing.

Steps:

• Heat ¾-inch of vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375˚. 
• In a wide, shallow bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic and onion powders. In a separate wide, shallow bowl, whisk the buttermilk and egg to combine.
• Place ¼ of the pickle slices in the buttermilk mixture and gently stir with a fork to coat.  Using a slotted spoon, drain the pickles well, place them in the flour mixture and toss to combine. Add the pickles to the skillet and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2 minutes. Using a clean slotted spoon or a spider, transfer the pickles to a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining 3 batches of pickles. Serve immediately with ranch dressing for dipping.
