Method
Preparation
Drain and Slice Pickles
Open the jar of dill pickles and drain the liquid. Slice the pickles into thick slices, about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
Batter Mixing
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
Add Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick.
Frying
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Coat the Pickles
Dip each pickle slice into the batter, making sure to coat it evenly on both sides.
Fry the Pickles
Carefully place the coated pickles in the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried pickles with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
