TOOLS YOU WILL NEED: Measuring cup & spoons, small bowls for assembling ingredients, whisk, large deep skillet, large baking pan (1-inch deep), slotted spoon & spatula.
INGREDIENTS:
 | 1 large egg white, lightly beaten |
| 1/2 cup buttermilk |
| 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus flour for dredging |
| 1/2 tsp salt |
| 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper |
| 1 large red onion, cut crosswise into 1/3-inch thick slices |
| Olive oil |
DIRECTIONS: Preheat the oven to 450 F. Using a shallow bowl, whisk together egg white, buttermilk, flour, salt & cayenne until smooth. Separate onion slices into rings & pick out the 12 largest, reserving remainder for other use. Heat 1-inch of oil in a large nonstick skillet, moderately high heat, until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 4, dredge onions in flour & dip rings into batter, letting excess drip off, then cook in skillet until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Transfer rings as they are browned to a lightly oiled, shallow baking pan. Bake rings in middle of oven, turning once, until crisp & deep golden, 12-15 minutes.
