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.

Suggestions: FOR NO MESS - I put the flour mix into a big resealable bag, throw all my onion slices in and shake really well until they're all coated. Then take the onions out, add the milk/egg to the bag and stir well. Add the onions a handful at a time, seal bag and mush the bag until all slices are coated, take out with tongs and put on wire rack over foil or wax paper...then put my Panko breadcrumbs into a big tupperware bowl, add the onions a handful at a time (with tongs), put the lid on and shake shake shake. Put the onions from the bowl directly into the hot oil with clean tongs, woo-hoo no mess!!!

Steps:
- 1. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F.
- 2. Seperate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- 3. Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside. On another paper plate put the seasoned bread crumbs on it, set aside.
- 4. Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then let drip a little.

- 6. Fry a few at a time for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain, salt if you wish.
Tips:
- Use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice the onions evenly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from falling apart.
- Soak the onion rings in milk for at least 30 minutes before coating them in batter. This will help to tenderize the onions and make them less likely to absorb oil when they are fried.
- Use a light batter for the onion rings. A heavy batter will make the onion rings greasy and soggy.
- Fry the onion rings in hot oil. The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cook the onion rings until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Drain the onion rings on paper towels before serving. This will help to remove any excess oil.
- Serve the onion rings with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces include ranch dressing, ketchup, and barbecue sauce.
