Deep Fried Onion Rings

Ingredients:

• 2 large Yellow onions
• 1 quart Buttermilk
• 2 c Unsalted cracker meal
• 2 c All-purpose flour
• Oil for deep-frying
  

Directions:

1. Slice the onions and make rings approx. 1/2 inch in width.
2. Dip into buttermilk, then coat with the flour.
3. Dip into buttermilk again, then coat with the unsalted cracker meal. (works best if you use the "wet hand, dry hand" method).
4. Place rings onto wax paper.
5. Separate layers with additional sheets of wax paper.
6. Best if allowed to refrigerate overnight to allow batter to "set".
7. Deep fry until golden-brown.
8. Salt if desired at serving time.
