PW’s Onion Straws

The Pioneer Woman

1 large onion


2 cups buttermilk

2 cups flour


1 scant tablespoon salt


Lots of black pepper


1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper


Canola Oil

Slice onion very thin. Place in a baking dish and cover with buttermilk for at least one hour.
 Combine dry ingredients and set aside. 
Heat oil to 375 degrees. 
Grab a handful of onions, throw into the flour mixture, tab to shake off excess, and PLUNGE into hot oil. Fry for a few minutes and remove as soon as golden brown.
 Repeat until onions are gone.
 Eat before your family sees them. 
Repeat with another onion, because they’ll be really mad they didn’t get any.
