Peel onions. Slice crosswise and separate into rings. Set aside.

In a large bowl combine buttermilk, eggs and salt. Mix well with a whisk.

Place onion rings in buttermilk mixture. Soak for about 1/2 hour.

Place pancake mix in a shallow bowl.

Heat the oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375°F.

Remove rings, a few at a time from buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge the onion rings in the pancake mix until completely covered.

Carefully place breaded rings in hot oil. Fry, turning as needed, until golden brown.

Remove to a paper towel-covered plate to drain.

Repeat with remaining onions, a few at a time, until all are fried.

Serve hot, with a selection of dipping sauces (See Box Below for Links to Recipes.)
