Buttermilk Batter Fried Onion Rings Recipes

Steps:

• In a 3-quart pot, preheat 4-inches oil to 375 degrees F.
• In a shallow bowl, combine flours, cayenne, paprika, salt, and white pepper. Pour the buttermilk into another shallow dish.
• Toss the onion rings in the flour mixture and shake off excess flour. Add to buttermilk mixture and make sure the rings are thoroughly coated. With a clean hand, add rings to flour mix again and shake off any excess flour.
• Begin to fry in preheated oil in small batches, 1/4 of total amount at a time. Cook onion rings for about 3 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally with metal tongs or slotted spoon, until crispy and browned. Drain on paper towels and keep in warm place (low oven, about 200 degrees F) until ready to serve. Sprinkle with extra salt, if needed.
• In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, sweat onions and garlic in olive oil until translucent. Add peppers and vegetable stock and stew until 1/2 of stock has evaporated. Add spices and chiles. Cover with vinegar and wine. Allow to cook, uncovered, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Let cool, then puree in a food processor, and season with pepper and salt, to taste.
• Yield: 3 cups Preparation Time: 30 minutes Cooking Time: 1 hour

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place parchment paper onto 2 baking sheets and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the flour, paprika and 2 teaspoons salt. In another bowl or shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Add half of the flour mixture to the buttermilk and beat until smooth and thickened.
• In a separate bowl, combine the panko, olive oil and remaining 2 teaspoons salt.
• Lightly dredge the onion rings in the flour mixture and then drop into the buttermilk. Drain the excess batter and then dredge in the panko mixture.
• Arrange on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. You can place smaller rings inside bigger rings if necessary, just make sure there is space between them. Then place in the oven. Cook until golden brown, 14 to 20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip over each onion ring to ensure even crisping and browning.

Steps:

• Soak onion rings in a bowl of ice water for 1 hour; drain and pat dry with paper towels.
• Whisk flour, buttermilk, egg, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl until smooth.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Dip onion rings in batter, working in batches; fry battered onion rings in the hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

Steps:

• In a large shallow bowl, toss onions with buttermilk. In another large bowl, whisk together flour, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper. Sprinkle 1/2 cup flour mixture evenly on a rimmed baking sheet; set aside.
• In a 5-quart heavy-bottom saucepan, heat oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers between 325 and 350 degrees. Lift rings out of the buttermilk (letting excess drip off); toss with remaining flour mixture to coat. Place on floured sheet.
• Working in small batches, carefully place coated rings (shaking off excess flour) into hot oil. Cook until golden, gently turning with tongs, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer rings to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining rings.

Steps:

• Soak onion rings in a bowl of ice water for 1 hour; drain and pat dry with paper towels.
• Whisk 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, milk, egg, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and salt together in a bowl until smooth.

• Fry the battered onion rings, working in batches, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer fried onion rings to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.

Steps:

• Peel the onions, slice them 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick, and separate them into rings. Combine the buttermilk, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Add the onion rings, toss well, and allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes. (The onion rings can sit in the buttermilk for a few hours.) In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Set aside.
• When you're ready to fry the onion rings, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large pot or Dutch oven. (A candy thermometer attached to the side of the pot will help you maintain the proper temperature.) Working in batches, lift some onions out of the buttermilk and dredge them in the flour mixture. Drop into the hot oil and fry for 2 minutes, until golden brown, turning them once with tongs. Don't crowd them! Place the finished onion rings on the baking sheet, sprinkle liberally with salt, and keep them warm in the oven while you fry the next batch. Continue frying the onion rings and placing them in the warm oven until all the onions are fried. They will remain crisp in the oven for up to 30 minutes. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Combine buttermilk, flour, cayenne and salt in a large bowl until smooth. Soak the onion rings in the batter for 2 hours in the refrigerator. Using side burner.

• Working in batches, lightly toss the rings in the flour mixture, then dip into the buttermilk mixture. Allow most of the liquid to drip off, then toss again in the flour mixture. Shake off as much flour as possible and place the rings into the hot oil.
• Fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown, moving the rings around a bit in the oil to keep them separated.
• Put the onion rings on a plate or bowl lined with paper towel and salt. Repeat until the onions are done.
