Ingredients

• 2 pieces Large yellow onions
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 pieces Eggs
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 4 cups Oil for frying

Directions

Step 1

Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the layers into individual rings and set aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a second bowl, whisk the eggs and buttermilk together until smooth.

Step 4

Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.

Step 5

Dip each onion ring first into the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 6

Next, dip the floured onion ring into the egg and buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess liquid to drip off.

Step 7

Finally, coat the onion ring in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere the crumbs. Place the coated ring on a baking sheet and repeat with the remaining onion rings.

Step 8

Heat the oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Test the oil by dropping in a small piece of bread; it should sizzle and turn golden within 30 seconds.

Step 9

Fry the onion rings in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Cook each batch for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Use a slotted spoon to remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 11

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