Instructions
- 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.
- Use immediately or store in an airtight container in a dry cool place for up to a few days.
Notes
- Let cool completely then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To crisp back up (if needed) bake in the oven for 5 minutes at 375 degrees.
- Make it gluten-free by using gluten-free flour.
- Make it vegan by using plant-based milk and 2 1/2 teaspoons of vinegar.
