This is an actual recipe from a former employee of a popular drive-in restaurant. Crispy coated onion rings like the pro's make!

Provided by JeanieMomof3

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Onion

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.
  • 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.

HOT ONION RINGS



Hot Onion Rings image

What's better than a big platter of blazing-hot onion rings? We can't think of a thing. For best results, use sweet onions like Vidalia or Walla Walla in this recipe. The sweetness of the onions pairs well with the spice of the cayenne.

Provided by The New York Times

Categories     vegetables, appetizer, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup beer
2 eggs
Generous pinch of cayenne, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
1 to 2 quarts peanut or canola oil for frying
3 large sweet onions, approximately 1 1/2 pounds, peeled and sliced thinly into rings

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix together the flour, beer, eggs, pepper, salt and Worcestershire sauce. In a deep-fryer or in a large heavy pot, heat the oil. It should be at least 3 inches deep, but more is better. When the oil is hot, drop in a teaspoon of batter to be sure it sizzles.
  • Gently drop the rings into batter and cook until nicely browned on all sides, about 2 to 3 minutes. Remove using a slotted spoon or spider strainer. Drain on paper towels, sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a seasoned flour mixture to coat the onion rings before frying. This will help to create a crispy coating.
  • Fry the onion rings in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Don't overcrowd the pan, or the onion rings will not cook evenly.
