Time 35m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups canola oil, for frying
4 large shallots, sliced into 1/8 in rounds
1 cup cornstarch, divided
1 cup buttermilk
½ teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste

Steps:

  • In a large high-walled skillet or large pot, heat the canola oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (180°C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet or line with paper towels and place nearby.
  • Add the shallots to a medium bowl and use your fingers to separate them into individual rings. Toss the shallots with ¼ cup (30 g) of the cornstarch until coated.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the remaining ¾ cup (95 g) cornstarch, buttermilk, and salt until completely smooth.
  • Working in ½ cup (75 g) batches, toss the shallots in the batter to coat, then lift out, letting any excess batter drip off.
  • Fry the shallots in the hot oil for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Transfer to the wire rack to drain and season with more salt. Repeat with the remaining shallots. Let cool completely.
  • Store the crispy shallots in a container with a loose-fitting lid. They will keep for 2-3 days in a cool, dark place. Use to top green bean casseroles, add to soups, garnish burgers, etc.
  • Enjoy!
