• 2 quarts vegetable oil (such as grapeseed or peanut), for frying
• 2 large yellow onions, peeled and left whole
• 2 cups buttermilk
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup all-purpose flour

1. Heat the oil (about 4 inches) in a large, heavy pot or deep fryer to approximately 365 degrees F.
2. Slice the onions into 1/4-inch-thick rings.
3. Place them in a large bowl and cover with the buttermilk.
4. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Place the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper.
6. Dip the onion rings into the seasoned flour, then dip them again in the buttermilk and again in the seasoned flour (this will be a messy process).
7. Test the oil by dropping a small amount of batter into the hot oilit should sizzle and brown quickly.
8. Fry the onion rings in small batches until they are golden, 2 to 3 minutes.
9. Let the oil come back to temperature before frying the next batch.
10. Remove the onion rings with a slotted metal spoon and drain them on paper towels.
