This was so good!! Soaking them in the buttermilk really breaks the onions down and when you bite into it, the onion doesn't pull out because your bite didn't go through all the way. The batter is so crispy too. I needed to use more flour than the 2 cups in the recipe.

They were crispy and perfect and the onions didn't pull through the batter after frying (I hate when that happens....but my kids thought they lacked flavor, so I added a little more salt and a dash of cayenne pepper to the dry mix. I didn't have time to make the dip, but I will definitely give this recipe a try again!

So good! We just used the beer batter part of the recipe. Cut the onions into petals instead of rings. The batter fried up so crispy! It also "puffed" a little, which we really liked. We didn't add any extra seasoning, and still loved these, but next time, we may try adding the parmesan or some other spice to kick up the flavor a little. These were just perfect with our homemade hamburgers. The husband already has a list of other things to use this beer batter on.
