- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄2 cup buttermilk

- Place the remaining flour, batter mixture, and saltine/potato chip crumbs in separate bowls.
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Take each onion ring and drop into the flour to create a dry surface for the batter to cling to. Tap off excess flour and drop ring into batter.
- Using a fork, lift the ring out of the batter and allow excess to drip off and then drop into saltine/chip crumbs. Press the coating onto the ring and then transfer to a plate.
