- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 large sweet onions (such as Vidalia®), very thinly sliced and separated into rings
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 quart vegetable oil for frying, or as needed
- Pour buttermilk into a bowl. Place onion slices into buttermilk, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Whisk flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika together in a bowl. Working in batches, remove onions from buttermilk, letting any excess liquid drip off, place onions in flour mixture and toss to coat. Shake any excess flour mixture off onions.
- Cook onion rings in the preheated oil until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer rings with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
