Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield about 4 to 6 side dish serving

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large Spanish onions, sliced into 1/2-inch-thick pieces
Whole milk, as needed
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 teaspoons fine salt, plus more for sprinkling
2 teaspoons chili powder (optional)
1 teaspoon ground cumin (optional)
2 lager-style beers (12-ounces each)
Vegetable oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Put the onions in a large bowl and cover with milk. Let soak for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, using a fine-sieve over a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, chili powder, and cumin, if using. Stir in the beer until a smooth batter is formed. Set aside.
  • Drain the onions and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Blot the onions with paper towels until dry.
  • In a large, wide heavy-bottomed pot, pour in the oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat to 400 degrees F. (The oil must be heated to 400 degrees F. since the temperature drops oil to about 375 degrees F. when the onions are added.)
  • Working in batches, transfer about 8 to 10 of the onions to the batter and mix to coat well. Using tongs, pull several of the onions out of the batter, and let any excess batter fall back into the bowl. Carefully add to the oil and fry, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 1/2 minutes per batch. Using the tongs, transfer to a dry paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Repeat with the remaining onions. Serve immediately.

Categories     Appetizer

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large white sweet onion (sliced into ¼ inch rings)
2 large eggs
½ cup evaporated milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1½ quarts cooking oil (such as peanut or canola)

Steps:

  • Heat the oil. Add the oil to a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or deep skilllet and heat to 350°F. Preheat oven to 200° to keep onion rings warm.
  • Make the batter and breading. Add the eggs and evaporated milk to a medium bowl and mix well. Add the flour to another medium bowl and season well with salt and pepper.
  • Bread the onion rings. Dip in the liquid mixture, then flour mixture. Soak onion rings in the batter, then dredge in the flour until coated well. Repeat with a handful of the rings.

  • Continue in batches until done. Keep warm in a warm oven while you continue cooking the rest of the onion rings. Serve immediately.

These deep-fried crispy onion rings get their amazing texture from the cornmeal in the egg batter coating. Use sweet onions, yellow, or red onions.

Provided by Diana Rattray

Categories     Side Dish

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large sweet onions
3 cups of milk or buttermilk
2/3 cup yellow cornmeal
1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour (divided)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons melted shortening
1 beaten egg
1 2/3 cups milk

Steps:

  • To keep the onion rings warm while frying subsequent batches, heat the oven to 200 F.
  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels for draining the onion rings and place another baking pan nearby for keeping them warm in the oven.
  • Peel the onions and slice them into rounds about 1/4-inch thick. Separate the rounds into rings.
  • Pour a few inches of milk or buttermilk in a large, wide bowl. Add the onion rings and let them soak for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Heat about 1 quart of vegetable oil in a deep, heavy pan or deep fryer to 365 F.
  • Meanwhile, in another bowl, combine the cornmeal, 2/3 cup of the flour, salt, pepper, melted shortening, egg, and 1 2/3 cups milk. Mix until the batter is smooth.
  • Put about 1 cup of flour in another bowl.
  • Remove some of the onion rings from the milk. Dredge them first in the plain flour and then dip them in the batter to coat.
  • Fry the onion rings in batches in the vegetable oil for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Make sure the oil is at the correct temperature and don't crowd the onions.
  • Transfer to the paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Move the drained onion rings to the baking pan and place them in the preheated oven to keep warm for up to 30 minutes. You Might Also Like Battered and Deep Fried Onion Rings Balsamic Onion Jam

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
4 teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups buttermilk
4 eggs
3 cups panko breadcrumbs
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 large yellow sweet onions, such as Maui, sliced 1/4-to-1/2-inch thick

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place parchment paper onto 2 baking sheets and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, paprika and 2 teaspoons salt. In another bowl or shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Add half of the flour mixture to the buttermilk and beat until smooth and thickened.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the panko, olive oil and remaining 2 teaspoons salt.
  • Lightly dredge the onion rings in the flour mixture and then drop into the buttermilk. Drain the excess batter and then dredge in the panko mixture.
  • Arrange on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. You can place smaller rings inside bigger rings if necessary, just make sure there is space between them. Then place in the oven. Cook until golden brown, 14 to 20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip over each onion ring to ensure even crisping and browning.

AMAZING CRISPY FRIED ONION RINGS



Amazing Crispy Fried Onion Rings image

These onion rings are perfectly coated by the batter; not overly thick batter that hides the taste of the onions. I prefer to slice regular onions thin so that the result is a fine, crisp onion ring. I challenge you to try this one out on friends using your favorite recipe. I think it is fantastic and hope you will, too.

Provided by DeSouter

Categories     Onions

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large yellow onions
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal (or corn muffin mix, as a substitute)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup milk (or more if desired or necessary)

Steps:

  • In a 3 quart pot, heat about 3-4 inches of vegetable oil on medium to medium high heat.
  • Combine all dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix in milk with a whisk, adding more milk if needed until mixture is the consistency is like a thin-medium pancake batter.
  • Cut onions into thin rings and toss in batter.
  • Place a single ring into the oil to test for appropriate heat. Onion ring should sizzle and start to brown immediately.
  • Place small batches of onion rings into the oil and when they turn dark golden brown on one side, flip them over to the othe side with a slotted spoon or carving fork.
  • Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all onions are done. (Add a bit more milk to the batter if it appears that the last batch isn't getting coated enough.).
  • I like to salt the cooked onion rings, but that is optional.

Time 18m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

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

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
  • Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside. Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping. The wire rack may be placed over a sheet of aluminum foil for easier clean up. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat. Give it a hard tap as you remove it from the crumbs. The coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.
