Ingredients

2 ½ cups Homemade (or store bought) Buttermilk

4 cups Thinly sliced onions, halves and rings of small onions

3 cups All purpose flour

1 tsp Kosher salt

1/4 tsp Fresh ground pepper

4 cups Vegetable oil

Directions

Soak onions in buttermilk for at least 10 minutes.

In a shallow dish add flour, salt, and pepper and mix well.

In a large pan heat vegetable oil to 375 degrees. To test to see if your oil is ready for frying, dip the handle of a wooden spoon in the oil and if it bubbles around the handle then it's ready.

Dredge buttermilk soaked onions in flour until well coated and add to oil, frying in batches until golden brown then remove form oil with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel lined plate. Continue with all of the onions with additional paper towel lined plates after a double layer of onions are on one.
