1/2 - 3/4 cup buttermilk
1/2 - 3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup bread crumbs
salt & cayenne pepper to taste

Oil for frying

Method


Preheat oven to 425F.

Remove the skin of the onion & cut off the ends.

Slice into 1/2 inch thick slices & separate the rings.

Mix salt & cayenne pepper with the buttermilk in a bowl.

Put the flour & breadcrumbs in separate bowls.

Dust the onions with flour first, then dip in the buttermilk mixture & drop into the breadcrumbs to coat all sides evenly.

Set aside on a plate/tray.

Pour 3 tbsp of oil on the baking tray & place it in the pre-heated oven for 5-6 mins till the oil is hot.

Carefully tilt the baking tray to coat it evenly with oil. Arrange the prepared onions rings on it in a single layer.

Bake for 12-15 mins,flipping the onions rings halfway thru till both sides are golden brown.

Drain baked rings on a paper towel.

Serve immediately.
