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.
- Deep fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with seasoning salt, and serve.

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.

Tips:
- For the crispiest onion rings, use a sharp knife to slice the onions as thinly as possible.
- Soak the onion rings in buttermilk or milk for at least 30 minutes before coating them in batter. This will help the batter to adhere to the onions and will make the onion rings more tender.
- Use a light coating of batter on the onion rings. This will help them to cook evenly and will prevent them from becoming greasy.
- Fry the onion rings in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the onion rings will not cook evenly.
- Drain the onion rings on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
