Oven-Fried Onion Rings

1 large egg white, lightly beaten
1/2 cup well-shaken low-fat buttermilk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus 1 cup for dredging
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
1 large red onion (12 ounces), cut crosswise into 1/3-inch thick slices
Olive oil

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
Whisk together egg whites, buttermilk, flour, salt, and cayenne in a
shallow bowl until smooth.
Separate onion slices into rings and pick out the 12 largest, reserving
remainder for another use.
Heat 1-inch of oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high
heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 4, dredge onions in
flour and dip rings into batter, letting excess drip off, then cook in
skillet until golden brown, about 1 minute on each side. Transfer rings
as browned to a lightly oiled, shallow (1-inch deep) baking pan.
Bake rings in middle of oven, turning once, until crisp and deep golden,
12 to 15 minutes total.
