I had lots of buttermilk left so made a batch of buscuits, breading did not seem to stick for some reason. I shook off the excess and carefully put in the hot oil.The onion wedges were dry and fanned, before breading.Perhaps it was a mistake for that much buttermilk. I will try again but it was like frying fresh onions with a tad of flour and seasoning.
