Categories Side Dish
Number Of Ingredients 5
Steps:
- Peel the onions, slice them into rings. The ring should be about 1/2 inch thick. No more than 3/4 inch.
- Add buttermilk, salt, and pepper to a vessel large enough for the onions to fit in.
- Add the onions and allow at least 15 minutes for them to soak.
- Heat up a dutch oven or large wide pot to 350 degree. Keep track of temperature with a candy/fry thermometer that is attached to the side of the pot.
- You are going to work in bathes here, put no more than a few onion rings in at a time, so you don't overcrowd them or reduce the temperature of the oil too much. You can place the finished rings in a oven set to it's lowest temperature to keep warm.
- Remove one ring from the buttermilk. Allow a moment to drip. Then dredge into the flour. Flip over to cover both sides, then into the oil.
- Fry each ring for about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Flip half way through.
- Season with salt immediately when out of the oil. Place on a sheet in the oven to keep warm.
- Repeat until all the rings are done. Serve hot.
