Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium white onions (about 10 ounces each), sliced into thin rings (about 1/4 inch)
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 cups vegetable oil

Steps:

  • In a large shallow bowl, toss onions with buttermilk. In another large bowl, whisk together flour, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper. Sprinkle 1/2 cup flour mixture evenly on a rimmed baking sheet; set aside.
  • In a 5-quart heavy-bottom saucepan, heat oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers between 325 and 350 degrees. Lift rings out of the buttermilk (letting excess drip off); toss with remaining flour mixture to coat. Place on floured sheet.
  • Working in small batches, carefully place coated rings (shaking off excess flour) into hot oil. Cook until golden, gently turning with tongs, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer rings to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining rings.
