Very nice job, Matthew!!

Ingredients: 

2-3 Vidalia onions

2-3 cups flour, for first breading

2-3 cups cracker meal, for second breading

Oil for frying (just enough to cover the rings while frying)

Salt (for cracker meal) 1-2 teaspoons

Pepper (for cracker meal) 1-2 teaspoons

Lowry's seasoning (for the end) 1/2 teaspoon 

2 -  Cut onions into nice sized rings.  Say about a 1/4" to 1/2".  

3 -  I used about 2-3 cups buttermilk in the right bowl and thinned it out with a little water (1-2 cups).  Middle bowl has bread flour in it.  You can use all-purpose flour too if you like.  

Little tip: Use your right hand for dipping in moisture and left hand to bread the onion rings.  Makes it less messy and your onion rings better looking.  They will not have excess breading on it nor on your hands.  

4 -  Take your flour breaded onion rings and place beside your milk mixture.  You will need to re-bread the onion rings. Not in flour, but in cracker meal.  Salt and pepper your cracker meal.  

5 - Same breading technique as noted above with this step.  

6 -   They should look similar to this.  

7 -  Here's the cracker meal I used.  

8 - Fry in hot oil at 350°-375° until golden brown.  

9 - Should look similar to these.  I dusted with Lowry's seasoning at the end.
