Ingredients

• 2 pieces Large yellow onions
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 0.75 cup Club soda
• 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the layers into individual rings and set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 3

Stir in the chopped fresh dill for a burst of flavor throughout the batter.

Step 4

Gradually add the buttermilk and club soda into the dry ingredients, whisking until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter. The batter should be slightly thick but not overly heavy.

Step 5

Place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish or plate for dredging.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large, deep pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

Step 7

Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is evenly coated. Then, dredge the battered onion ring in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.

Step 8

Carefully lower the coated onion rings into the hot oil, working in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried onion rings from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining onion rings. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces.
