 try to find 1015s.  -- UDD

 Cut the onions into 3/8" slices. In a nonreactive dish,
 soak the onions in the buttermilk for 30 to 60 minutes.
 In a brown-paper sack, combine the flour, salt, and
 chilli spice. Drain the onions and dredge them in the
 seasoned flour.

 Pour at least 4" of oil into a deep, heavy saucepan.
 Heat the oil to 375 F/190 C. Fry the onions in batches,
 about 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Drain the onions
 on paper towels, sprinkle with salt.

 Serve immediately.
