For the Onion Rings

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Slice the large onions into 1/2 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the buttermilk, mixing until smooth.

  3. 3

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with bread crumbs.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the coated onion rings in the hot oil, frying in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately.
