Onion Rings
Classic rings of fried onion goodness.
Ingredients
- 1 large onion cut into 1/4-inch slices
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup milk or as needed
- ¾ cup dry bread crumbs
- seasoned salt to taste
- 1 quart oil for frying or as needed
Instructions
-
Add the oil to the deep fryer and heat it up to 365 F.
-
Roll the onion slices into rings. In a bowl, stir the flour, baking powder and salt together.
-
Dip the onion slices into the flour mix to get an even coating. Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture with a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then leave them on a wire rack until they stop dripping. While you wait, spread the bread crumbs out on a plate. When the rings stop drifting, place them one at a time into the crumbs, and use your fingers to scoop the crumbs up over them to get a full coat. As you take the rings out of the crumbs, give them a firm tap to shake off any excess. The remaining coat should be plentiful and stuck firmly.
-
Fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain the rings on paper towels, season with seasoning salt, and serve.
