Servings 8 spears

Ingredients
  

  • 8 dill pickle spears
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ cup dill + more for topping
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ cup corn muffin mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 4 cups vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, dill, and lemon juice. Chill until ready to serve.
  • Pour 3-4 cups of vegetable oil into a deep pot and heat to 400°F.
  • Line a plate with paper towels. Arrange the pickles on the paper towels and use another paper towel to blot the moisture from the pickles.
  • Add ½ cup of flour to a large ziplock bag. Place the pickles in the bag and shake until they are completely coated with flour.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the corn muffin mix, paprika, egg, and buttermilk with the remaining flour until a thick batter forms.
  • Dip the flour-coated pickles in the batter one at a time, ensuring they are completely covered. Shake off the excess batter so that the coating around the pickles isn't too thick.
  • Carefully transfer the coated pickles to the preheated oil. Fry the pickles for 8-10 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Use tongs to transfer the cooked pickles to another plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil before moving them to a serving platter.
  • Serve the fried pickles along with the chilled dill yogurt sauce. Garnish with fresh dill and enjoy!
