Servings: 2-4
Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet onions, like Vidalia
- 3 cups buttermilk
- 3 cups flour
- 1 1/2 tablespoon salt
- Lots of black pepper
- Canola oil for frying
Directions:
- Using a mandolin, slice the onions very thin. Place onions in a bowl and cover with buttermilk for at least one hour. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and set aside. Heat oil to 375 degrees.
- When the oil is hot, grab a handful of onions, place them into the flour mixture, separate each ring with your fingers and make sure each are coated. Shake off excess, and carefully place into hot oil.
- Stir to separate and fry for a few minutes. Remove as soon as they turn golden brown. Place on paper towels to remove some of the excess oil. Season with salt immediately.
- Repeat until all of the onions are fried.
