INGREDIENTS

1 large or 2 small Sweet Onions

1 1/2 cup Flour

1 tsp Baking Powder

1 tsp Salt

1 tsp Cayenne Pepper

1 Egg

1 1/2 cup Buttermilk

1/4 cup Water

3/4 cup Bread Crumbs

Salt to taste

1 quart Vegetable Oil for frying

DIRECTIONS

Cut onions into 1/4 inch slices and separate into rings.

Place onions in a bowl.

Add buttermilk and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Heat the oil

In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt and cayenne.

Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside. Pour the buttermilk from the bowl into the flour mixture add the water, the egg and stir until blended using a fork.

Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain.

Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. Dip the onion rings into the crumbs on both sides to coat.

Deep fry a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown (turning midway).

Place on paper towels to drain.

When eating onion rings I always dip in ketchup. The new craze seems to be the thousand island type dressing. For some reason I just stick to salt and ketchup. I may have to try the other dipping sauces next time. I always say ‘next time” ha ha! Are you a ketchup or other dipping type person with onion rings?

Next time we make homemade onion rings I am thinking of baking them. I need to find a good baked recipe. I am nervous about giving up my fried versions. I just love fried foods.
