Instructions

Drain the pickles in a colander and set aside.
Place the buttermilk in a bowl. Place the cornmeal, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a separate bowl and mix well.
Drop the pickles in the buttermilk to coat. One at a time, transfer the pickles to the cornmeal and coat. Place on a plate and set aside.
Pour enough oil into a large, deep frying pan to reach a depth of 1 inch and heat over medium-high heat.
Place 6 pickle pieces at a time in the oil and fry them for 5 to 6 minutes until golden. Be sure to ﬂip the pickles about halfway though cooking to brown both sides. Drain the pickles on paper towels and serve immediately.

Notes

These are tasty served with a spicy ranch dressing: just combine 1 cup ranch dressing with 1 to 2 teaspoons of your favorite hot sauce.
