8
Place sliced onions and buttermilk in a bowl and let sit for 30 minutes.
9
Heat oil in large cast iron pot to 350º over a medium stove. Once temperature reaches 300º turn down to medium-low until ready to use.
10
Mix flour, salt and spices together in a large bowl. Remove onions from buttermilk and toss in flour mixture.
11
Shake off excess flour and fry in hot oil in three batches. (You may need to turn up the heat to medium after placing the onions in the oil.)
12
Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel lined plate to cool.
CHEF'S TIP: When frying in a pot on the stovetop, make sure oil is no higher than 1/3 full in the pot. If higher it may overflow when you add in your ingredients.
