Would you believe I hated onion rings until I made my own homemade version adapted from The Pioneer Woman's recipe? They are SO good, and making them from scratch is a cinch, just follow these simple steps:
1) Chop Onion to desired length (rings or strings, basically)
2) we give em' a milk bath + a bit of yogurt mixed in for at least 1 hour
2) strain milk mixture in sink1) Chop Onion to desired length (rings or strings, basically)

3) in a seprate bowl, toss around onion strips into all-purpose flour and set into strainer *IMPORTANT STEP*
I don't think Pioneer Woman strains her flour, but this is a must for us, it gets all the clumps of flour (which would otherwise sink to the bottom of the pan and burn and *stink*). It also helps them get crunchy on the outside if there is just enough batter, but not too much!
Use slotted spoon to drain oil & set aside on paper towel to absorb moisture.
This recipe adapted from Pioneer Woman's recipe, I changed the buttermilk bath to a mixture of 1% + 1/4 c. yogurt soak and also strained both the milk and the all-purpose flour mixture to get rid of the clumps. We also use much less oil just because we would end up having a lot left over that you couldn't use again.
