Onion Strings

It's Great To Be A Florida Gator!

2009 Fl vs GA game!

This Week is a Kick off SIDE!

The most common concession stand buy or party meal is an All American favorite, Hamburgers and Hotdogs. This week I am substituting the fries for some favorable and crispy:

SHOE STRINGS! 

 

INGREDIENTS:

1 Large Sweet Onion 

2 cups of Buttermilk (If you don't have buttermilk, scroll down for the recipe)

2 Cups of All Purpose Flour

Canola Oil for frying

Cayenne Pepper, Salt & Pepper to season

Buttermilk Substitute:

1tbsp of distilled white vinegar 

1 cup of  milk 

mix those ingredients together and you have buttermilk! Crazy eh?

DIRECTIONS:

1.

Begin Mix All Purpose flower, Cayenne Pepper (or be creative and find a spice you like!), Salt & Pepper into a large mixing bowl and set aside.

2.

Peel then cut your onion(s) VERY thinly!

3.

Put your onions into a Med/Large mixing bowl and then pour your buttermilk over them. Let the onions soak for about 30 minutes. 

4.

Find a pot to pour 1-3 cups of canola oil in. (We used our large skillet to cook ours in)

Approx heat should be between 350 - 375 degrees. If you don't know how hot it is, just sprinkle a pinch of flour over the hot oil and if it sizzles you are ready to rock and roll!

5. 

Using your tongs, take some of your onions and dip them into your flour mixture, coat them well and sake them off a little. Then Place them into your oil. Then take a spoon or fiddle and try to break some of them apart. After about a minute of sizzling they should be Golden Brown! Place on a paper towel, and continue to do step 4 & 5 until all your onions are cooked. Serve on the side or top them on your juicy burger, ENJOY!
