Ingredients

• 2 large yellow onions
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons dried dill
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 egg
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 4 cups vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and buttermilk together until smooth.

Step 4

Set up a breading station: place the flour mixture in one shallow dish, the buttermilk-egg mixture in another, and the panko breadcrumbs in a third.

Step 5

Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, ensuring an even coat. Shake off any excess.

Step 6

Next, dip the floured onion ring into the buttermilk-egg mixture, then coat it with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 7

Repeat with all onion rings and place them on a baking sheet to prepare for frying.

Step 8

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Carefully drop a few onion rings into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot.

Step 10

Fry the onion rings for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried onion rings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 12

Repeat the frying process until all onion rings are cooked.

Step 13

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy the crispy, dilly goodness!
