Recipe Summary Vidalia&Reg; Onion Straws (Onion Strings)

Wonderful crispy onions made from Vidalia® or any good sweet yellow onions. These are famous in several restaurants around the Southeast. A great southern staple. Serve hot for best results.

Ingredients | Vidalia Onion Festival Vendors

2 cups buttermilk

2 large sweet onions (such as Vidalia®), very thinly sliced and separated into rings

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons cornmeal

1 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon ground black pepper

2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

½ teaspoon paprika

1 quart vegetable oil for frying, or as needed

Directions

Pour buttermilk into a bowl. Place onion slices into buttermilk, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Whisk flour, cornmeal, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and paprika together in a bowl. Working in batches, remove onions from buttermilk, letting any excess liquid drip off, place onions in flour mixture and toss to coat. Shake any excess flour mixture off onions.

Cook onion rings in the preheated oil until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer rings with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

The nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of the breading ingredients. The actual amount of the breading consumed will vary. We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. The exact amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and the specific type of oil used.

Substitute 2 cups of 2% milk with 2 teaspoons of white vinegar for the buttermilk.
