Steps:
- Begin by peeling the onions and slicing very thinly, use a mandoline slicer if you can. Separate the onion slices and place them in a shallow baking dish and pour the buttermilk over the top. Press the onions down so they're submerged as much as possible and let them soak on the counter for at least an hour. If necessary, stir them around a bit halfway through the soaking process.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper and cayenne, and set aside.
- Pour 1 to 2 quarts canola oil in a pot or Dutch oven. Heat to 375 degrees F, or until a pinch of flour sizzles when sprinkled over the pot.
- Using tongs, remove a handful of onions from the buttermilk and immediately dunk into the flour mixture. Coat the onions in the flour mixture, and then tap them on the inside of the bowl to shake off the excess.
- Plunge the onions in the hot oil. With a spoon, fiddle with them a bit just to break them up, and watch them! They'll be ready to remove from the oil in no time flat.
- When they're golden brown (this should take just a minute or two), remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Repeat with the remaining onion slices and serve immediately.
- Pile these on top of a juicy grilled hamburger - to die for!

Wonderful crispy onions made from Vidalia® or any good sweet yellow onions. These are famous in several restaurants around the Southeast. A great southern staple. Serve hot for best results. Slice onions as thin as possible. You should be able to see the knife clearly through the onion as you slice it.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
- Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside. Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping. The wire rack may be placed over a sheet of aluminum foil for easier clean up. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat. Give it a hard tap as you remove it from the crumbs. The coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.
- Deep fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with seasoning salt, and serve.

HAYSTACK ONIONS
Super-thin, crispy and light onions! Made these last night and everyone couldn't get enough of them! This recipe came with a kitchen gadget I bought at Birmingham's HUGE Christmas Village craft show. It's called a "Country Cutter" and was made by a man from El Dorado, AR if anyone near there is interested in getting one. It looks like one of those apple peelers with a crank handle, and it cuts onions, potatoes, etc. into one long very thin spiral. You could probably get similiar results using a mandoline and slicing your onions super thin.

Steps:
- Make egg wash by mixing egg and milk.
- Put sliced onions in a bowl and pour egg wash over them. Turn onion slices so that they're all thoroughly coated, then pour onions into a colander to drain.
- Put flour and seasoning salt in a plastic zip-top bag. Add onions and shake to coat.
- Slowly add onions to hot cooking oil in batches. They fry up quickly, so make sure not to burn them.
- My DH says these are so good they're "no ketchup needed." I like eating them with ranch dressing.

Tips:
- Choose the right onions: Yellow or white onions are best for onion rings, as they have a milder flavor and hold their shape better than red onions.
- Slice the onions evenly: This will help them cook evenly and look more appealing.
- Soak the onion rings in buttermilk: This will help them stay crispy and tender.
- Use a light batter: A heavy batter will weigh down the onion rings and make them greasy.
- Fry the onion rings in hot oil: This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the onion rings will not cook evenly.
- Drain the onion rings on paper towels: This will help remove excess oil.
- Serve the onion rings hot: Onion rings are best served hot and crispy.
