Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 large red onion, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rings
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Place buttermilk in a medium bowl. Place flour in another medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Working in batches, toss onion rings in flour; shake off excess. Dip in buttermilk, letting excess drip back into bowl. Return to flour and toss to coat again; shake off excess.
  • Heat 4 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and foaming. Add half of onion and cook, turning once, until golden brown and crisp, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels with tongs; season with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining butter and onion.
