How to Make Dairy Queens Onion Rings

  1. Slice one large yellow onion into 1/2-inch thick rings. Discard the very small, inner rings.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk and 1/2 cup water.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, place 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon salt.
  4. In another shallow dish, place 1 1/2 cups yellow cornmeal.
  5. Dip each onion ring in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dip in the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat thoroughly in the cornmeal.
  6. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Carefully place onion rings in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Remove onion rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy! These are best enjoyed while still warm and crispy.
