Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons granulated garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup milk
1/4 cup stout beer, such as Guinness
2 jumbo yellow onions, cut into 1/4-inch rings
Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
Directions
- Whisk together the flour, granulated garlic, cayenne and 1 tablespoon each salt and black pepper in a large bowl until well blended. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk and beer.
- Dunk the onion rings in the beer mixture and then toss in the flour mixture to coat evenly. Shake off the excess flour and lay the rings on a baking sheet. Let sit for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, fill a heavy pot with 3 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees F. Sift the flour mixture to remove any clumps.
- Dunk the onions a second time in the buttermilk and toss in the flour. Shake off any excess flour before dropping the rings into the hot oil. Fry until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
