These crispy buttermilk onion rings are a delightful twist on the classic snack, perfect for any occasion.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 365°F (185°C).
Use a thermometer to ensure the oil reaches the correct temperature for optimal frying.
Peel and slice the onions into rings, separating each layer.
Choose large onions for bigger rings, which are easier to handle and coat.
In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Sift the dry ingredients to ensure a smooth batter.
Whisk the buttermilk and egg into the dry mixture to form a batter.
Ensure the batter is smooth and free of lumps for even coating.
Dip the onion rings into the batter, letting excess drip off.
Work in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even coating.
Coat the battered rings in breadcrumbs mixed with seasoning salt.
Press the breadcrumbs gently onto the rings to ensure they stick well.
Fry the rings in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Avoid overcrowding the fryer to maintain the oil temperature.
Place the fried rings on a wire rack over paper towels to drain excess oil.
Draining on a rack keeps the rings crispy compared to placing them directly on paper towels.
Serve the onion rings warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
