What you'll need:

1 large yellow or white onion

Cut onions into 1/4-inch thick slices then separate into rings.


Mix all dry ingredients into a large bowl.

Pour buttermilk into a separate bowl.
Heat oil to 370°. Using metal tongs, dip a few onion slices into the buttermilk and then into the dry ingredients coating thoroughly. Then carefully place them in the hot fat. Fry onion rings about 2 minutes, turning them once or twice until they're an even delicate golden color .
