Onion Straws

Ok, a lot of you have been asking for this recipe! So here it is.

2 C flour
2 T Cayenne Pepper
2 T season Salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 gallon Butter Milk
2 - 3 Large Onions
1 Large bottle of Vegetable Oil

Get a super sharp knife and slice the onions very thin! Once sliced, un-ring them and place into the buttermilk. Let the onions sit in the buttermilk, in the refrigerator for 2 hours or more.

Once you are ready to cook the onions, put the oil in a large stock pot. Fill it about 1/3 of the way up. Put on high at first and then once your drop your first batch of onions in, back down to between 6 and 7 on your dial. Also make sure you have a plate covered with a paper towel to catch oil drippings.

Mix together flour and seasonings in a large bowl. Take a small bunch of onions out of buttermilk and drop in flour mixture. Make sure they are covered well with flour mixture and then gently place in hot oil. Let cook until they are a nice golden brown. Don't have an exact time because each oven is different. Once they are golden brown, pull out of oil with tongs and place on plate with paper towel to drip. Repeat the process until all onions are done. Enjoy my friend.
