Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel and slice the onions into thin rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

  2. 2

    Soak the Onions

    In a bowl, pour the buttermilk over the sliced onions and let them soak for at least 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Coating

    In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper.

  4. 4

    Coat the Onions

    Remove the onions from the buttermilk and let excess liquid drip off. Dredge the soaked onions in the flour mixture until well coated.

  5. 5

    Heat the Oil

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

  6. 6

    Fry the Onions

    Carefully add the coated onions to the hot oil in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per batch.

  7. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried onions from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Season with additional salt if desired before serving.
