Recreate the classic Dairy Queen onion rings in your own kitchen. Enjoy the sweet crunch of battered Vidalia onions, deep-fried to golden perfection.
serves/makes:
ready in:
under 30 minutes
under 30 minutes
ingredients
2 Vidalia onions or other sweet onion
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup water
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups white corn meal
4 cups oil (or as needed)
directions
Remove the outer layers of the onions. Slice the onions 1/2-inch thick. Remove very small onion rings and reserve for another use.
In a shallow dish, combine the buttermilk and water. Mix well. Place the flour in another shallow dish. In another dish, place the cornmeal.
Heat the oil in a deep fryer (or heavy, deep skillet) to 370 degrees F.
Take the onion rings, one at a time, and dip them in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip them in the buttermilk, then coat with the cornmeal.
Carefully drop them into the hot oil and cook until golden brown, turning if needed. Remove the onion rings from the oil and let drain on paper toweling.
Serve hot with ketchup or other condiments.

@Carolyn, per Dairy Queen onion rings. You said melted ice cream mix. Is that something special or just melted ice cream? Thanks. P.S. I have not tried the featured recipe for onion rings. Although I love onion rings, it's complicated to make. So I don't. I buy them from Dairy Queen which is just down the street from where I live on Empire Blvd. Coos Bay Oregon.
I USED TO WORK FOR DAIRY QUEEN, AND WE SOAKED OUR SLICED ONION CUT INTO RINGS IN THE MELTED ICE CREAM MIX. IT WAS PLACED IN THE CHILLER AND LEFT ABOUT 1 HOUR.THEY WERE THEN DIPPED IN FLOUR, SHAKEN GOOD TO REMOVE EXCESS FLOUR AND DEEP FRIED UNTIL THEY WERE GOLDEN BROWN. WHILE THEY WERE HOT FROM THE FRYER, WE SPRINKLED THEM LIGHTLY WITH SALT. THESE WERE SOME OF THE BEST ONES I'VE EVER EATEN. YOURS SOUND REALLY GOOD, BUT, YOU MIGHT LIKE TO TRY THEM THIS WAY. IT'S A GOOD WAY TO USE UP VANILLA ICE CREAM!! THEY ARE TENDER, A LITTLE SWEET,AND A LITTLE SALTY AT THE SAMR TIME.WE COULDN'T KEEP ENOUGH COOKED UP!
