Step 2

Pour the flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper into a large, resealable plastic bag; shake to mix well.

In a heavy and deep pan, heat oil to 350 degrees F.

Step 5

Fry pickles in several batches until golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside with a moist interior, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Let cool, and serve immediately. Ranch or other creamy dipping sauce is recommended.
