Spread the pickle slices over paper towels to pat completely dry.
Heat 1 to 2 inches of oil to 375 F.
While the oil is heating, whisk together the flour and spices.
Dip the pickles in the buttermilk, then transfer to the flour mix and toss to coat.
Fry them a few at a time, to avoid crowding the pan or lowering the oil temperature too much. Cook until golden brown, should take about 1 to 2 minutes. They often will flip themselves over, but you may need to help them along.
Remove to fresh paper towels to drain while cooking the remaining pickles.
Notes
These crispy, crunchy, tart snacks are great on their own, but even better with our Fry Sauce.
