For The Pickles

- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup Louisiana hot sauce
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- peanut oil for frying
- 2 cups Fry Mix recipe listed below
For The Fry Mix
- 6 cups self-rising flour or 6 cups all purpose flour + 3 tbsp baking powder + 1 1/2 tsp salt

To Make The Deep Fried Pickles
Drain the juice from the pickle jar and refill the jar with the garlic powder, hot sauce, and buttermilk. Marinate the pickles for at least 30 minutes.
In a large pot or fryer over medium-high heat, heat the oil to 350 degrees. Drain the pickles. Put the fry mix in a large mixing bowl, and toss the pickles to coat thoroughly. Shake off the excess mix by tossing lightly in a strainer and deep fry the pickles in small batches for 3 to 5 minutes.
When golden brown, remove the pickles from the oil with a clean strainer or slotted metal spoon and place on paper towels to drain off any excess oil.
Serve immediately.
