Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by thoroughly draining the sliced pickles and placing them on paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the milk and large eggs, whisking them together until you achieve a smooth consistency.
  4. Dip each slice into the flour mixture first, then into the milk and egg mixture, and back into the flour mixture for extra crunch.
  5. In a deep skillet or fryer, pour enough vegetable oil to submerge the pickles and heat over medium heat until it reaches around 375°F.
  6. Carefully add the coated pickles to the hot oil in small batches, fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
  7. Serve hot alongside a bowl of ranch dressing for dipping.
