Buttermilk Onion Rings

1. 1

   In a large shallow bowl, toss onions with buttermilk.

2. 2

   In another large bowl, whisk together flour, cayenne, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper.

   In a 5-quart heavy-bottom saucepan, heat oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers between 325 and 350 degrees F. Lift rings out of the buttermilk (letting excess drip off); toss with remaining flour mixture to coat.

   Transfer rings to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet.
