Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together until smooth.
Set up a breading station: place the flour mixture in one shallow dish, the buttermilk-egg mixture in another, and the panko breadcrumbs in a third.
Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, ensuring an even coat. Shake off any excess.
Next, dip the floured onion ring into the buttermilk-egg mixture, then coat it with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Repeat with all onion rings and place them on a baking sheet to prepare for frying.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully drop a few onion rings into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry the onion rings for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried onion rings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process until all onion rings are cooked.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy the crispy, dilly goodness!
