Make the Onion Straws
Slice the large onion into thin rings. Soak the rings in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot over medium-high heat.

Fry the Onion Straws
Remove onion rings from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then dredge them in the flour mixture. Fry in batches in the hot oil until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and place on paper towels to drain.
