ingredients
- 3 large onions, preferably sweet onions
- 3 -4 cups buttermilk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon sugar (if not using very sweet onions)
- oil, preferably peanut oil (for deep frying)
directions
- Cut the onions in 1/4" slices. In a glass dish, soak the onions in the buttermilk for 30 to 60 minutes.
- In a brown paper sack, combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, onion powder, chili powder, and if needed, sugar. Drain the onions lightly and dredge them in the seasoned flour.
- Pour at least 4" of oil into a heavy saucepan. Heat the oil to 375°. Fry the onions, in batches, for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden. For the crispiest results, drain on paper towels and spread on a serving plattter rather than piling them into a basket, where they could become soggy. Serve immediately.

SOOO GOOD!!! I was all set to make onion rings & was already soaking them in a buttermilk mixture, following another recipe (not from Zaar) - when I decided that they needed a little extra something or "kick" so I decided to use this recipe instead and I'm so glad I did! The only thing I changed was subbing Old Bay for chili powder out of personal preference and wow - just delicious. Served with Cheeseburgers for a simple but crowd pleasing meal. Terrific recipe! Thank you!Reply
