Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 large onions peeled and sliced into ¼-inch thick rings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour for batter
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs for coating
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 cup buttermilk for batter
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • as needed oil for frying

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by peeling the onions and slicing them into ¼-inch thick rings. Separate the rings gently and set them aside.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  3. In another bowl, beat the egg and mix it with the buttermilk.
  4. Dip each onion ring first into the flour mixture, coating it thoroughly, then into the egg and buttermilk mixture, and back into the flour mixture to get a good coating.
  5. After the final flour coating, quickly dip the rings into the breadcrumbs to get that crispy texture.
  6. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once hot, fry the onion rings in batches for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown.
  7. Once fried, place the crispy onion rings on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve them hot and enjoy!

Notes

For healthier options, consider using whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze before frying for up to a month.
