Ingredients
  

2 large yellow onions, sliced into 1/4-inch rings

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 large egg

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)

Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions
 

Prep the Onions: Peel and slice the onions into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.

    Make the Batter: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

      Prepare the Wet Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk until combined.

        Coat the Rings: Dip each onion ring first into the flour mixture, ensuring it’s coated. Then dip it into the buttermilk mixture, followed by the breadcrumbs, making sure each ring is well-coated.

          Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat (about 350°F or 175°C). Use enough oil to submerge the rings.

            Fry the Onion Rings: Carefully add a few onion rings at a time into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side.

              Drain Excess Oil: Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried onion rings to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

                Serve Hot: Season with a little extra salt if desired, and enjoy your crispy onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce!
