Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
Peel and slice the onions into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the layers and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
In another bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together until fully combined.
Dredge each onion ring in the flour mixture, then dip into the buttermilk mixture, making sure to coat thoroughly. Let any excess drip off.
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.
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.
Fry the onion rings in small batches for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Use tongs to transfer the fried onion rings to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo.
