Southern Style Onion Rings

2 Large onions, (I used Walla Walla Sweets)

cut into 1/4 inch slices, and 

separated into rings. 

Mix

2 c. buttermilk

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. pepper

Put onion rings into buttermilk mixture and let set

for several hours in refrig.

Mix together

1 1/2 c. flour (I used GF flour and it works fine)

1/4 c. cornmeal

1 T. salt

2 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. cayenne pepper

1/2 tsp dried thyme

1/4. tsp pepper

1 T. chopped chives 

Dredge onion rings in flour mixture and lay out

on wax paper.

Heat 1 inch oil in pan until hot.

Fry the rings a few at a time, until golden brown.

Drain on paper towel and then place on

baking sheet in 200* oven to stay warm until

all are cooked. Salt and serve hot.
