Start by taking apart your onions.

2
After peeling and slicing, pop out the rings from each slice.

If they break, dont worry.

Broken rings are just as delicious.

5
Add the rings into a large bowl, and add in the buttermilk.
-
6
Toss to coat the onions in the buttermilk and set the bowl aside.
-

Next, add one cup of the flour to a bowl.
-

Add in the salt, peppers, and garlic powder.
-

Give that a good mix.

10
Next add the oil to a medium sized pot and bring that to a medium to medium-high heat.

Your goal is to shoot for 350 F using a thermometer.
-
12
Get another bowl ready, and toss in the remaining cup of flour.
-
13
Add the cold beer, and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
-
14
Once the oil is heated, drain the buttermilk off of the onions.
-
15
Add the onions, about six or so at a time into the seasoned flour.
-
16
Shake off any excess flour, then toss them into the beer batter.
-
17
Gently add them to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan as they will stick together.

18
Youll want to do this in batches.
-
19
Cook the onions until they are golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
-
20
Remove them from the hot oil with your kitchen spider or slotted spoon, and set them on some paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Season with a bit of salt.

Repeat this process until all of the onions are cooked.
