Ingredients

Pickles

Horseradish Dipping Sauce

  • 4 tbsp Mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Horseradish
  • 1 tbsp Spicy Ketchup
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Black Pepper Freshly Ground
  • ½ tsp Granulated Garlic
  • ¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper

Pickle Coating

  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tsp Black Pepper Freshly Ground
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Granulated Garlic
  • 3 tbsp Buttermilk Powder
  • ¾ cup Water

Fryer

  • 4 cups vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Preheat fryer to 350°. Line a baking sheet with paper towels, 2 or 3 thick.
  • Mix all dipping sauce ingredients together and set aside.
  • Take 2 dozen pickle slices and pat dry with a paper towel. This will help keep the coating crispy so make sure to dry well.
  • Mix all dry pickle coating ingredients together in a medium size bowl (flour, pepper, salt, and granulated garlic). In a smaller, separate bowl whisk together buttermilk powder and water.
  • Dip pickles in buttermilk mixture, then flour. Shake off excess and repeat. Gently drop in fryer. Repeat until all pickles are gone. After 2½-3 minutes, flip pickles and cook for 2 minutes more. You will know they are done because they will float and have a nice golden brown color on each side.
  • Remove from fryer and lay out on paper towel in a single layer. Enjoy!

Notes

If you don't have a fryer you can make these in a deep sauce pan on the stove.  Just make sure to use a thermometer to get the proper heat.  Depending on the size of your pan the amount of oil needed may differ.
I like using buttermilk powder so I always have buttermilk on hand for recipes.  If you don't have it or don't want to use it, you can either substitute buttermilk for the full amount (3/4 cup) or you can make your own buttermilk.  Just mix 3/4 cup milk with 2 1/4 teaspoons of either lemon juice or white vinegar and let sit for 10 minutes before using.
