Onion Straws

Another one of PW recipes.
This one is super good, especially on top of burgers!

Onion Straws

1 large onion
2 cups buttermilk (for a buttermilk substitute: for every cup of milk, add 1 Tbsp of vinegar and let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes until it looks curdled. Stir before using)
2 cups flour
1 scant tablespoon salt
Lots of black pepper
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
Oil for deepfrying

Slice onion very thin.
Place in a baking dish (i use a ziplock bag) and cover with buttermilk for at least one hour.
Combine dry ingredients and set aside.
Heat oil to 375 degrees.
Grab a handful of onions, throw into the flour mixture, tab to shake off excess, and PLUNGE into hot oil.
Fry until golden brown.
