| 3/4 cup | 180 ml | buttermilk |

Instructions
- Combine 1 cup flour and salt in a shallow dish. Beat remaining flour, buttermilk, and egg together in a separate shallow dish until smooth and thickened. Add bread crumbs to a third shallow dish.
- Lightly dredge onion rings in flour. Dip onion rings into buttermilk mixture and drain excess liquid. Dredge onion rings in bread crumbs until evenly coated.
- Spray CrispLid fryer basket and onion rings with cooking spray and arrange onion rings in a single layer in fryer basket, working in batches as needed.
- Place CrispLid trivet in the inner steel pot of pressure cooker and put fryer basket on the trivet.
- Set CrispLid on top of inner steel pot and plug in. Set to 400°F (200°C) and cook onion rings for 5 minutes. Flip onion rings and continue cooking until browned and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes more. Lift the lid using the handle and set it on the silicone mat. Repeat with remaining onion rings.
Mealthy Tip: Add a couple pinches cayenne pepper to the flour-salt mixture for a little heat. Make your own buttermilk if you don't have any on hand. Mix 1 cup milk and 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar together in a bowl or measuring cup and let sit for about 10 minutes.
