Ingredients

• 2 Large yellow onions
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and slice the onions into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the layers and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together until fully combined.

Step 4

Dredge each onion ring in the flour mixture, then dip into the buttermilk mixture, making sure to coat thoroughly. Let any excess drip off.

Step 5

Press the coated onion rings into the panko breadcrumbs to create a crispy coating. Set the prepared onion rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). If you do not have a thermometer, test by dropping a small piece of batter into the oil—it should sizzle and float immediately.

Step 7

Fry the onion rings in small batches for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 8

Use tongs to transfer the fried onion rings to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo.
