Preparation

Step 1

Drain the pickles in a colander, blot dry with paper towels.

Set up a dredging station by adding a cup of the flour to a shallow bowl or dish. In a medium mixing bowl whisk buttermilk and egg together. Mix the flour and panko together in a large, shallow pan or dish, season with salt and pepper.

Meanwhile heat a 1/2 inch oil in large, deep-sided skillet to 350-360 degrees. Coat pickles with flour then buttermilk/egg then panko crumbs, pressing the crumbs onto the pickles. Fry in batches 1-2 minutes, depending on size, until golden brown, flipping pickles over once. Drain on paper towels. Serve with buttermilk ranch dressing.
