For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or garlic powder to the batter. Don't overcrowd the fryer; work in batches to maintain oil temperature and ensure even cooking. If you don't have Bermuda onions, sweet Vidalia onions make a great substitute. For a lighter batter, use club soda instead of buttermilk. These are best served immediately, but can be reheated in a 350°F (175°C) oven for a few minutes to restore some crispness.
