List of Ingredients

â—¦ ½ cup mayonnaise
â—¦ ¼ cup buttermilk
â—¦ 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
â—¦ ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
â—¦ Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
â—¦ 3 cups canola oil
â—¦ ¾ cup all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
â—¦ ¾ cup cornstarch
â—¦ 3 tablespoons cornmeal
â—¦ ¾ teaspoon baking soda
â—¦ 1 cup club soda
â—¦ 8 or 9 large pickles (from a 46-ounce jar), cut on the bias into ¼-inch-thick slices


Recipe

Whisk together shallot, mayonnaise, buttermilk, chives, and garlic powder in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Heat oil to 350° F in a medium saucepan. Whisk together flour, cornstarch, cornmeal, and baking soda in a second bowl. Season with salt. Whisk in club soda until combined.

Working in batches, dip pickles in batter, letting excess drip off, and transfer to oil. Fry, turning once, until golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Serve with dressing alongside.
