Ingredients:

1 16-oz. jar of sliced pickles
1/2 C. flour
1 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 C. buttermilk
1 box Absolutely Gluten Free Crackers, crushed by hand or in a food processor
Frying oil
Salad dressing for dipping, like ranch or blue cheese

Directions:

• Place pickles slices into a paper towel-lined cutting board and blot the pickles until dried.
• Whisk flour with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika and black pepper and place in a shallow bowl. Add pickles and coat and pat to remove excess flour.
• Place pickles in a bowl of buttermilk until fully coated.
• Pour crushed crackers in a shallow dish and begin pressing wet pickles until crackers adhere on both sides.
• Pour oil in a medium saucepan, about 1 inch full, and preheat to 375F using an oil thermometer.
• Once to temperature, begin frying pickle slices in batches, making sure they don’t touch each other, about 1-2 minutes, turning about halfway through.
• Allow to slightly cool on paper towel and serve immediately with salad dressing or dip, if desired.
