Steps:
- Fill a fryer or large Dutch oven with 2 inches vegetable oil; heat to 330 degrees F to 340 degrees F. Prepare the batter: Whisk the all-purpose flour, rice flour, parmesan, mustard powder, paprika, garlic powder and 2 tablespoons salt in a large bowl. Whisk the buttermilk, beer and dijon mustard in a separate large bowl. Add all but 1 cup of the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk to make a smooth batter, similar to a pancake batter.
- Test 1 onion ring: Dip in the batter and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. If the batter is still not cooked through, then it is probably too thick; add a splash more of the wet ingredients to the batter. (You may also need to add more of the wet ingredients to the batter as it sits.)
- Working in batches, dip the remaining onion rings in the batter and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a rack. Immediately sprinkle with more parmesan.

Steps:
- 1. Cut onions crosswise into 1 inch thick slices. Separate slices into individual rings and remove thin papery membrane from inside of each ring.
- 2. In medium stockpot over medium heat or tabletop deep fryer, heat oil to 375. Pour buttermilk into large baking dish; season with salt and pepper. Divide flour between 2 separate dishes; season each with salt and black pepper and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper.
- 3. Working in batches, dredge onion rings in first flour dish;tap off excess. Dip rings in buttermilk, allow excess to drip off, then dredge in second flour dish, making sure to coat rings evenly. Tap off excess and transfer coated rings to hot oil. Fry, turning once or twice, until golden brown (about 4 minutes). Remove rings with mesh skimmer and drain on paper towel lined baking sheet. Season with salt. Repeat until all onion slices have been cooked. Serve hot.
Tips:
- Use cold buttermilk: Cold buttermilk helps the batter adhere to the onion rings, resulting in a crispier coating.
- Let the onion rings rest in the buttermilk marinade for at least 30 minutes: This allows the buttermilk to penetrate the onion rings and tenderize them, resulting in a more flavorful and tender onion ring.
- Use a light hand when dredging the onion rings in the flour mixture: Too much flour will make the onion rings heavy and greasy.
- Fry the onion rings in hot oil: The oil should be between 350°F and 375°F. If the oil is too hot, the onion rings will burn. If the oil is too cold, the onion rings will be greasy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Overcrowding the pan will cause the oil temperature to drop, resulting in greasy onion rings.
- Drain the onion rings on paper towels: This will help remove excess oil and make the onion rings crispy.
Conclusion:
These buttermilk onion rings are the perfect appetizer or side dish for any occasion. They're crispy, flavorful, and tender, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make snack, give these buttermilk onion rings a try. You won't be disappointed!
