Onion Rings with Hot Pepper Ketchup
Ingredients
FOR THE HOT PEPPER KETCHUP, MELT:
1⁄2 cup red pepper jelly
1⁄4 cup ketchup
2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
Salt to taste
FOR THE ONION RINGS, DIP:
1 large yellow onion, sliced into 1-inch-thick rings
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. paprika
1⁄2 tsp. cayenne
Vegetable oil
Salt to taste
Directions
For the hot pepper ketchup, melt jelly in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in ketchup, vinegar, and salt; set aside.
For the onion rings, dip onion rings in buttermilk in a large bowl; combine flour, salt, baking powder, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne in another large bowl. With a skewer, dredge onion rings, a few at a time, in the flour mixture. Dip rings into buttermilk a second time and then back into flour mixture. Set rings on a rack and refrigerate while oil heats, about 15 minutes.
Heat 1-inch oil to 365° in a large pot over medium-high. Fry onions in batches until light brown, 2–3 minutes per batch. Transfer rings to a paper-towel-lined plate using a skewer, then season with salt. Fry remaining onion rings in the same manner.
