Onion Straws
Method
Preparation
Soak in Buttermilk
Pour the buttermilk over the onion rings and let them soak for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and flavor.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
Coat the Onions
Remove the onion rings from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge them in the flour mixture until fully coated.
Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Onion Straws
Fry the coated onion rings in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them and drain on paper towels.
