ONION STRINGS(PIONEER WOMAN)

Onion Strings(Pioneer Woman) image

I know they don't look it, but these teeny tiny, thinly-sliced fried onions are so pleasantly flavorful and crisp, and such an utterly perfect accompaniment for so many different main courses, they really need to be placed on some list of Culinary Triumphs of All Time. Straight from Ree Drummond, Pioneer Woman.

Ingredients

1 whole large onion
2 cups buttermilk (you can use milk-I like soymilk)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 -2 quart canola oil
black pepper, To Taste

Steps:

Slice onion very thin. Place in a baking dish and cover with buttermilk and soak for at least an hour.
Combine dry ingredients and set aside.
Heat oil to 375 degrees.
Grab a handful of onions, throw into the flour mixture, tap to shake off excess, and PLUNGE into hot oil. Fry for a few minutes and remove as soon as golden brown.
Repeat until onions are gone.
Eat before your family sees them.
Repeat with another onion, because they'll be really mad they didn't get any.
