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.
