This recipe arrived with my William Sonoma Magazine and I didn't see another quite like it - it looks so good I'm posting and planning on making these at my next opportunity. With the beer and mustard they sound differant from the other recipes I've seen here. Think they'll go great with a hot panini. YUM! Plan ahead as they need to be in the fridge overnight and this is not counted in prep time. Ingredients:
2 -3 vidalia onions, large and cut into 1-inch thick slices and separated into rings |
4 -6 cups buttermilk |
vegetable oil, for deep frying |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, up to 2 cups to make a thick batter |
1/3 cup cornstarch |
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more, to taste |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
