Steps:
- For gorgonzola butter:
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place garlic on piece of foil; drizzle with olive oil. Enclose garlic in foil. Bake until garlic is very soft, about 1 hour. Cool. Squeeze garlic cloves out from papery skins into medium bowl; mash garlic with fork. Mix in butter, cheese, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer Gorgonzola butter to sheet of plastic wrap. Using plastic wrap as aid, form butter into 1 1/4-inch-diameter log, wrapping plastic tightly around butter. Chill until firm. (Can be made 2 days ahead; keep chilled.) Cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds.
- For onion rings:
- Pour buttermilk into large bowl. Add onion rings; toss to coat. Let stand 1 hour, tossing occasionally. Mix flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in another large bowl.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour enough oil into heavy large skillet to reach depth of 3 inches. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F. Working with a few onion rings at a time, shake off excess buttermilk, then turn onion rings in flour mixture to coat. Fry onion rings until deep golden brown, adjusting heat as necessary for each batch to maintain temperature at 350°F, about 2 minutes. Transfer onion rings to paper towels to drain, then place on baking sheet and keep warm in oven while frying remaining onion rings.

Tips:
- Make sure your butter is cold and firm before using it. This will help the dough to be easier to work with and will prevent the butter from melting into the dough.
- Use a food processor or stand mixer to make the dough. This will help to ensure that the dough is well-mixed and evenly combined.
- If you don't have a food processor or stand mixer, you can also make the dough by hand. Just be sure to mix the ingredients until they are well-combined and there are no dry spots.
- Be careful not to overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough and chewy.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help to make the dough easier to work with and will prevent it from sticking to your hands.
- When rolling out the dough, use a light touch. Don't press down too hard or you will end up with thick, dense rings.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into strips. This will help to ensure that the strips are even and consistent.
- Before baking the rings, brush them with egg wash. This will help them to brown evenly and will give them a nice shine.
- Bake the rings in a preheated oven until they are golden brown. The exact baking time will vary depending on the size of the rings and your oven.
- Let the rings cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and will make them easier to handle.
Conclusion:
Butter rings are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They can be served as a snack, dessert, or even as part of a breakfast or brunch. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious butter rings at home.
