1 1/2 cup buttermilk
2/3 cup all-purpose flour

Combine flour and next 3 ingredients in large zip top plastic bag. Ad corn to flour mixture a little at a time, and shake bag to coat corn.
Pour oil to depth of 1 inch in Dutch oven or large heavy frying pan, and heat to 375 degrees F. Fry corn in the hot oil, a small amount at a time, about 2 minutes or until golden. Drain on paper towels. Serve as side dish, or sprinkle on salads, soups or casseroles.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
