ONION STRAWS

I love Onion Rings, my favorite way is either made this way or beer battered. These are so good and they are great topped on burgers or served as an appetizer with ranch dressing and/or ketchup. Also makes a great side dish!

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large onion
2 c buttermilk
2 c all purpose flour
1 Tbsp salt
1/4-1/2 Tbsp cayenne pepper
1-2 qt oil for frying
black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Slice onion very thin. Place in a baking dish and cover with buttermilk and soak for at least an hour.
  • 2. Combine dry ingredients and set aside. Heat Oil in pan to about 375 degrees.
  • 3. Grab a handful of onions, throw into the flour mixture, tap to shake off excess, and push into hot oil. Fry for a few minutes and remove when golden brown. Repeat steps til all onions have been fried.

Tips:

  • Use the right onions: Yellow or white onions are best for onion straws. They have a milder flavor than red onions and will hold their shape better when fried.
  • Slice the onions thinly: The thinner the onion slices, the crispier the onion straws will be. A mandoline slicer is the best tool for this job.
  • Soak the onion slices in water: This will help to remove some of the sharpness from the onions and make them less likely to burn when fried.
  • Coat the onion slices in flour: This will help them to brown evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Fry the onion straws in hot oil: The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Fry the onion straws in small batches so that they don't crowd the pan and lower the temperature of the oil.
  • Drain the onion straws on paper towels: This will help to remove any excess oil.
  • Season the onion straws with salt and pepper: You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or chili powder, to taste.

Conclusion:

Onion straws are a delicious and versatile snack or side dish. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you serve them plain, with a dipping sauce, or as a topping for other dishes, onion straws are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack, give onion straws a try.
