Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large onions, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup flour (can use gluten-free flour)
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or cayenne for added flavor

Instructions

  1. Soak sliced onions in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper, plus any additional seasonings if you’re feeling adventurous.
