Time 1h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large Spanish onions (or 3 yellow onions)
2 cups buttermilk
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup (medium) yellow cornmeal
1 quart vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Peel the onions, slice them 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick, and separate them into rings. Combine the buttermilk, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Add the onion rings, toss well, and allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes. (The onion rings can sit in the buttermilk for a few hours.) In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
  • When you're ready to fry the onion rings, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
  • Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large pot or Dutch oven. (A candy thermometer attached to the side of the pot will help you maintain the proper temperature.) Working in batches, lift some onions out of the buttermilk and dredge them in the flour mixture. Drop into the hot oil and fry for 2 minutes, until golden brown, turning them once with tongs. Don't crowd them! Place the finished onion rings on the baking sheet, sprinkle liberally with salt, and keep them warm in the oven while you fry the next batch. Continue frying the onion rings and placing them in the warm oven until all the onions are fried. They will remain crisp in the oven for up to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

These onion rings are a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. They're so tasty, they won't even realize they're eating onions.

I've never been a big fan of onion rings, but these ones are amazing! The cornmeal coating gives them a great flavor and texture.

The batter for these onion rings was too thick. It was hard to coat the onions evenly, and they ended up being lumpy.

These onion rings were a little too greasy for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time.

I love the flavor of the cornmeal in these onion rings. It gives them a nice crunch and a slightly sweet flavor.

These onion rings were easy to make and turned out great! I used yellow onions, and they were perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

I've tried many cornmeal onion ring recipes, but this one is by far the best. The batter is light and crispy, and the onions are perfectly tender.

These onion rings were a hit at my party! They were crispy, flavorful, and disappeared in minutes. I'll definitely be making them again.
