Ingredients: (makes 15 ounces of fried onions)

2 1/2 cups of buttermilk

4 cups of thinly sliced small yellow onions

3 cups of all purpose flour

1 tsp. of Kosher salt

1/4 tsp. of freshly ground black pepper

4 cups of canola oil

Directions:

Soak the onion slices in the buttermilk in a large bowl for 30 minutes.

Mix the flour, salt and pepper in a large shallow bowl.

Heat the canola oil to 375 degrees F.

Dredge the buttermilk soaked onions in the flour mixture in small batches until they are well coated.

Add the dredged onions to the hot oil, frying in batches until they are golden brown, then remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper towel lined plate.

Continue frying with the remainder of the onions using additional paper towel lined plates after a double layer of onions are on the first plate.

Use the fried onions immediately or store them in an airtight container in a dry cool place for up to a few days.

Enjoy!
