Cheddar's^® Famous Onion Rings

made from scratch...
by you!

Ingredients

Round 'em up

• 3 lbs of Colossal Onions
(They`re big, sweet and gorgeous)
• Vegetable Oil
• A bowl of Buttermilk
(Enough to cover the sliced onions)
• Seasoned Flour
(3 cups flour + 2 Tbsp salt + 1 Tbsp pepper)
• Salt & Pepper as needed
• Parsley for garnishing
(if you like parsley, of course)
• Ranch Dressing for dipping

Prep 'N' fry

Put those knife skills to use

1: Slice off ¼" from both ends of the onions then remove the outer layer
(TIP: You can peel the onion with a soup spoon, Handy, right?)
2: Hold the onion so the ends are pointing left and right and slice the onion into ¼" rings
3: Carefully remove the outermost layer of the rings, making sure they`re 3½" or more in diameter
You can regrigerate the rings until you`re ready to make them.

Add some sizzle

4: Heat the oil to 350°
5: Dip the onion rings in the buttermilk then dust with seasoned flour
(shake off the loose flour)
6: Dip and dust a second time
(Double the batter, double the crispiness!)
7: Place the rings gently into the oil and for 1 minute (don`t move them!), then flip them over and fry for 1 more minute until crisp and golden brown
8: Remove the onion rings
(Carefully...they`re hot!)
9: Season immediately with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley
10: Get out some Ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce, and gobble them up
