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.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of onions for different flavors. Sweet onions, like Vidalia or Walla Walla, will produce a milder flavor, while yellow or white onions will have a sharper taste.
  • Cut the onions into uniform rings for even cooking. A mandoline slicer can be helpful for this task.
  • Soak the onion rings in buttermilk or milk before coating them in batter. This will help the batter adhere and create a crispier crust.
  • Use a light touch when coating the onion rings in batter. Too much batter will make them soggy.
  • Fry the onion rings in hot oil (350-375°F) until golden brown and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the onion rings will not cook evenly.
  • Drain the onion rings on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Onion rings are a classic American appetizer or side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are relatively easy to make, and with a few simple tips, you can create delicious and crispy onion rings that will be the hit of your next party or gathering. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying snack, give onion rings a try!
