Categories: Sides

Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup flour
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1 large red onion, sliced into thick rings
  • 8 tbsp unsalted butter

Directions

  1. Place buttermilk in a medium bowl. Place flour in another medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Working in batches, toss onion rings in flour; shake off excess. Dip in buttermilk, letting excess drip back into bowl. Return to flour and toss to coat again; shake off excess.

  2. Heat 4 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and foaming. Add half of onion and cook, turning once, until golden brown and crisp, 8-10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels with tongs; season with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining butter and onion.
