Delicious battered and fried onion rings from Liz.

Ingredients:

  • 3 large Vidalia onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 1/2 cups flour,divided
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 3 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper, or more
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • oil for deep-frying

Preparation:

Put 1 1/2 cups flour in a wide shallow bowl. Put buttermilk in another bowl. In the third bowl, combine the remaining 2 cups flour with the cornmeal, paprika, salt, cayenne, thyme, and pepper. Dip the onion rings into the flour, then in the buttermilk, and then in the flour and cornmeal mixture. Place the breaded onion rings on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Place breaded onion rings in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Fry in 3-inch deep fat that has been heated to about 360°. Fry the onion rings, a few at a time, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels on a tray. Keep warm in a 250° oven or warming drawer until all are fried.

I made this today as I had Vadalia onions on hand. Followed the directions as given and the results were delicious - good looking and great tasting.
