### How to Make Perfect Fried Pickles

**1. Prepare the batter:**
In one bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. In another bowl, whisk eggs with milk or buttermilk.

**2. Coat the pickles:**
Dip each pickle slice first into the egg mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture. For an extra crispy coating, you can double-dip by repeating the egg and flour step.

**3. Heat the oil:**
Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C).

**4. Fry in batches:**
Carefully add coated pickles to hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Don’t overcrowd the pot.

**5. Drain and serve:**
Remove fried pickles with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with ranch dressing, spicy mayo, or your favorite dip.
