Onion Strings Recipe
- 2 large onions, sliced very thin
- 2 C buttermilk
- 1 C all purpose flour
- 1 T salt
- Black pepper
- ½ T Cayenne pepper
- 1 – 2 Quarts Canola oil
Separate onion slices, place in shallow baking dish, cover with buttermilk. Soak onions for at least 1 hour.
In a bowl, combine flour, salt, black and cayenne pepper, set aside.
Heat canola oil on med-high to 375F. Place small portion of onions in the flour, coat thoroughly and tap off excess. Carefully put the floured onions in the hot oil, agitate to break apart. Cook to golden brown – very quick process, about 1 – 2 minutes – and remove to paper towel covered plate. Repeat with remaining onions, in batches, serve immediately.
