Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large onions (e.g., Vidalia)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil for frying (about 2 cups)
Instructions
- Peel and slice onions into thick rings, about half an inch wide.
- In one bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, mix buttermilk and eggs until smooth. Gradually combine wet and dry ingredients to form a batter.
- Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess to drip off before coating with breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350?F (175?C). Test with a small amount of batter; it should sizzle.
- Fry coated rings in batches for 3-4 minutes until golden brown, turning halfway through.
- Drain on paper towels and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
