2 very large onions (2 pound total), cut crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices

1 teaspoon baking powder
1 large egg

Categories     Onions

Time 13m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

vegetable oil, for deep-frying, plus 1 T
3 onions, Vidalia
4 cups buttermilk
1 egg
4 cups flour, all-purpose
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling on hot rings
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground

Steps:

  • Heat the frying oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 325 degrees. Peel and slice the onions into rings about 1 inch thick (just rings,not hearts).
  • Whisk the buttermilk, egg, and 1 T vegetable oil in a large bowl. In another bowl, whisk the flour, 1 t salt, and the pepper.
  • Drop the onion rings frist into the buttermilk mixture and then into the flour, making sure they are well coated with each dip. Shake the excess flour off the rings and fry in batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oil, sprinkle with salt, and serve hot.

Tips:

  • To ensure the onion rings stay crispy, make sure the oil is hot enough before frying. The ideal temperature is between 350°F (175°C) and 375°F (190°C).
  • Use a deep fryer or a large pot with a heavy bottom to fry the onion rings. This will help maintain a consistent temperature and prevent the oil from splattering.
  • Use a slotted spoon or tongs to carefully lower the onion rings into the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding the pot, as this can cause the temperature of the oil to drop and result in soggy onion rings.
  • Fry the onion rings in batches until they are golden brown and crispy, typically for 2-3 minutes per batch. Do not overcook them, as this will make them tough.
  • Drain the onion rings on paper towels to remove excess oil before serving. This will help keep them crispy.
  • Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch dressing, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Breaded onion rings are a delicious and versatile appetizer or side dish that can be enjoyed on any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create crispy, golden-brown onion rings that will be the star of the show.
