Best Onion Rings

 

2 large yellow onions

ice water

1 c. flour

¼ t. baking soda

¼ t. salt

1 egg, beaten

1 c. buttermilk

fine dry bread crumbs

 

Discard the onions dry outer skins.  Cut both ends off each onion.  Slice onions into desired thickness.  Soak rings in ice water for at least 2 hours.  Add remaining ingredients, except bread crumbs, and mix for batter.  Dip rings into batter.  For extra crispy onion rings, dip batter coated onion rings into bread crumbs before frying.
