Onion Straws

 Healthy? I think not, but they're positively delicious! Also a miracle occurred while making these, they actually look like the picture on the website. wow! They were really good, but I think when I make these again I will try a red onion instead of yellow. And prep time is more like 5-10 minutes, I don't know what they were smok'in when they said an hour. Thanks for setting this up! (plus it gives me something to do this summer!) --Whitney (clearly Chris had nothing to do with this:)

Preparation Instructions

Slice onion very thin. Place in a baking dish and cover with buttermilk and soak for at least an hour.

Combine dry ingredients and set aside.

Heat oil to 375 degrees.

Grab a handful of onions, throw into the flour mixture, tap to shake off excess, and PLUNGE into hot oil. Fry for a few minutes and remove as soon as golden brown.

Repeat until onions are gone.

Eat before your family sees them.

Repeat with another onion, because they’ll be really mad they didn’t get any.
