Fried Onion Strings
Restaurant style fried onion straws are easy to make at home. You're going to want to make a double batch.
Servings: 4 - 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 whole large onion
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 quart to 2 quarts canola oil
Instructions
- Slice onion very thinly. I use a mandolin for this task.
- Place in a baking dish and cover with buttermilk and soak for 1/2 an hour.
- Combine dry ingredients and set aside.
- Heat oil to 375 degrees. Use a candy/ oil thermometer for accuracy.
- Put a handful of onions into the flour mixture, tap to shake off excess. Gently place into hot oil. Fry for a few minutes and remove as soon as they are golden brown. Remove to a paper towel
- Repeat until you have fried all the onions.
