DIRECTIONS:
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, add oil to 3/4 inches deep. Heat to 350° to 375°F. (Test the heat with the end of a wooden spoon or chopstick—if the oil quickly bubbles around the wood, it’s ready.)
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine pickles and buttermilk, tossing to coat. In another medium bowl, combine cornmeal, flour, panko, and cayenne, if using.
A handful at a time, transfer pickles to cornmeal mixture, tossing to coat. Carefully add coated pickles to skillet, shaking off extra cornmeal mixture, and cook until golden brown and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel–lined plate. Sprinkle with salt and repeat with remaining pickles.
Serve pickles with California Yogurty Ranch Dressing. Serves 4 to 6.
