Yield makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Peanut oil, for deep-frying
2 cups buttermilk
1 tablespoon hot sauce, preferably Tabasco
1 egg, beaten
2 medium onions, sliced into 3/4-inch-thick rings
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oil in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven to 375 degrees F. (For tips on deep-frying, see page 19.)
  • Whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce, and egg in a large, wide dish. Slip in the onion slices, and allow them to soak for 5 minutes.
  • Toss the flour and cornmeal together in a large brown paper bag, and season with the seasoned salt and cayenne. Drop the onion rings into the paper bag in batches, and shake until they are covered.
  • Slip the onion rings into the oil, and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Season with kosher salt as they come out of the fryer.
  • ALTERNATIVE: Baked Onion Rings
  • These are more tender than crisp, but that good onion flavor is still there.
  • Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray two baking sheets with nonstick spray. Lay the battered rings out in a single layer on each sheet tray, and spray with the nonstick spray. Season with salt. Bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden.
