Steps:
- Combine the salt and water in a pitcher and stir until the salt has dissolved.
- Rinse the cucumbers thoroughly and snip off the blossom end stem. Set aside.
- Place the peppercorns, pepper flakes, garlic, dill seed and fresh dill into a 1-gallon crock. Add the cucumbers to the crock on top of the aromatics. Pour the brine mixture over the cucumbers in order to completely cover. Pour the remaining water into a 1-gallon ziptop plastic bag and seal. Place the bag on top of the pickles making sure that all of them are completely submerged in the brine. Set in a cool, dry place.
- Check the crock after 3 days. Fermentation has begun if you see bubbles rising to the top of the crock. After this, check the crock daily and skim off any scum that forms. If scum forms on the plastic bag, rinse it off and return to the top of the crock.
- The fermentation is complete when the pickles taste sour and the bubbles have stopped rising; this should take approximately 6 to 7 days. Once this happens, cover the crock loosely and place in the refrigerator for 3 days, skimming daily or as needed. Store for up to 2 months in the refrigerator, skimming as needed. If the pickles should become soft or begin to take on an off odor, this is a sign of spoilage and they should be discarded.

Time 50m
Yield 13 Dozen fried pickles (approx.)
Number Of Ingredients 12
Steps:
- Press pickle slices between paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Set Aside.
- Combine milk and next 4 ingredients; stir well.
- Combine 3 cups flour, red pepper, and next 3 ingredients; stir well.
- Dip pickle slices in milk mixture; dredge in flour mixture.
- Pour oil to a depth of 4 inches in a Dutch oven and heat to 375ºF.
- Fry pickles, in batches, for 5 minutes or until golden.
- Drain on paper towels.
- Serve warm with dressing.
Tips:
- Choose the right pickles: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh, dill pickles. Avoid pickles that are too soft or mushy.
- Slice the pickles evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from getting overcooked while others are still raw.
- Use a well-seasoned skillet: A cast-iron skillet is ideal, but any heavy-bottomed skillet will work. Make sure the skillet is well-seasoned to prevent the pickles from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet: Cook the pickles in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming instead of frying.
- Cook the pickles until they are golden brown and crispy: This will take about 2-3 minutes per side. Don't overcook them, or they will become tough and chewy.
- Serve the pickles immediately: Fried dill pickles are best served hot and fresh out of the skillet. They can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or snack.
Conclusion:
Fried dill pickles are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this classic Southern treat in the comfort of your own home.
