Onion Straws

I think it was this last weekend my youngest & I were watching cooking channel and someone was making onion straws.
He had tried them once before when we had gone out to dinner and loved them.
He pretty much begged me to figure out how to make them.
So last night we gave it a whirl and they turned out perfectly!
Super easy here's what you do:

Ingredients are:
2 large yellow onions
2 cups of buttermilk
1 1/2 cups of flour
1 Tablespoon of salt
A few large dashes of pepper
1/2 Teaspoon of cayenne pepper
Oil for frying

What you will need is to do is take 2 yellow onions and slice them into thin rings and separate
Place them in a 9x 12 baking dish
Cover with the buttermilk
Soak for 30 minutes
Mix in a bowl your flower, salt, pepper & cayenne pepper
Warm your oil for frying
Take your onions out of the buttermilk, dredge through the flour mixture, then drop into the hot oil.
Frying until brown
Remove and place on a paper towel to drain of oil

 

 

Enjoy!!!!
