Ingredients
- 2 to 3 large Vidalia onions, cut into slices 1 inch thick, separated into rings
- 4 to 6 cups buttermilk
- Vegetable oil for deep frying
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, plus more, to taste
- 3/4 tsp. baking soda
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tbs. whole grain mustard
- 2 2/3 cups dark beer
Instructions
- Divide the onion rings between 2 large sealable plastic bags and add enough buttermilk to coat the rings. Seal the bags and refrigerate overnight.
- Set a wire rack on a baking sheet and place in an oven. Preheat the oven to 200°F. Line another baking sheet with paper towels.
- Pour oil into a deep fryer and heat to 350°F according to the manufacturer’s instructions. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, the 1 1/2 tsp. salt and the baking soda. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, mustard and beer. Whisk the egg mixture into the flour mixture until well incorporated.
- Drain the onion rings in a colander. Place a handful of the onions rings in the batter and stir to coat thoroughly. Remove 1 onion ring at a time from the batter and let the excess drip off. Add 6 to 8 onion rings to the hot oil and fry, turning occasionally, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer the onion rings to the paper towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt, then place on the rack-lined baking sheet in the oven. Repeat with the remaining onion rings. Serves 4 to 6.
