Ingredients
  

For the Onion Rings
  • 2 large Onions Use large, sweet onions like yellow or Vidalia.
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour May substitute with gluten-free flour if necessary.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder No suitable substitute for airy texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika Try smoked paprika for a unique twist.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Customize based on your preference.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper Customize based on your preference.
  • 1 cup Buttermilk Regular milk with a splash of vinegar can be used as a substitute.
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs Panko breadcrumbs will give extra crunch.
  • Oil for frying Oil Use for frying onion rings.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the onions into ½ inch rings and separate them carefully.
  2. In a bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, then into buttermilk, and finally into the breadcrumbs.
Cooking
  1. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Fry the onion rings in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

Notes

Use cold ingredients for batter to maintain a light and crispy texture. You can freeze uncooked onion rings for later frying, making it a convenient option.
