Instructions

  1. Place buttermilk in a medium bowl. Place flour in another medium bowl; season with salt and pepper. Working in batches, toss onion rings in flour; shake off excess. Dip in buttermilk, letting excess drip back into bowl. Return to flour and toss to coat again; shake off excess.

  2. Heat 4 Tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and foaming. Add half of onion and cook, turning once, until golden brown and crisp, 8 –10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels with tongs; season with salt and pepper. Repeat with remaining butter and onion.

A meal like this Brown-Butter–Fried Onion Rings that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
