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.

ONION RINGS

Delicately battered onion rings can be made at home without fuss; seltzer, or carbonated water, is the secret ingredient. Fried parsley adds a steakhouse flourish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Vegan Recipes

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Vidalia onion, sliced crosswise into thin rings
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 can (12 ounces) seltzer or other carbonated water
6 cups vegetable oil
Coarse salt
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, washed and dried very well

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels; set aside. Place onion rings in a large bowl of ice water for 10 minutes; drain and pat dry. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and seltzer.
  • In a heavy 5-quart pot or Dutch oven, heat oil over high until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees. Working in 7 to 8 batches, place onions in batter; using your fingers, lift out, letting excess drip off. Carefully place in oil, making sure not to overcrowd pot; cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Transfer rings to prepared baking sheet, and season with salt. Keep warm in a 250-degree oven. Return oil to 375 degrees before starting next batch.
  • Once all the onion rings are done, place on a platter. Very carefully place parsley in pot (oil will spatter), and fry until crisp, 10 seconds; remove, using a spider or slotted spoon, and season with salt. Sprinkle onions with parsley.

CRISPY ONION RINGS



Crispy Onion Rings image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

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.

MARTHA'S FAVORITE ONION RINGS



Martha's Favorite Onion Rings image

This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Vegetables" (Clarkson Potter). Thinly layered, slightly spicy yellow onions are used to make the light, crisp rings at Balthazar in New York City. (This recipe is adapted from the restaurant's cookbook, and it is Martha's hands-down favorite.) Beer flavors the batter and adds body, thanks to the bubbles. Baking powder, a leavening agent, helps to enlarge these bubbles as the batter fries.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup beer, preferably lager or pilsner
2 tablespoons ice water
Peanut oil, for frying
2 medium yellow onions, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices, separated into rings

Steps:

  • Whisk together 1 cup flour, the salt, white pepper, and baking powder in a bowl. Whisk in beer and ice water until combined. Place remaining cup flour in a shallow dish.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees, with a baking sheet on middle rack. Heat 3 inches of oil to 375 degrees in a medium pot over medium high. Dredge onions in flour, turning to coat; tap off excess. Working in batches (about 8 at a time), dip onions in batter, shaking off excess. Carefully add to hot oil. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt. Transfer to baking sheet to keep warm while cooking remaining onions. Adjust heat as necessary to keep oil at a steady temperature. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Sweet onions, like Vidalia or Walla Walla, are best for onion rings because they have a mild flavor and are less likely to overpower the batter.
  • Slice the onions evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from being overcooked while others are still raw.
  • Use a light batter: A heavy batter will make the onion rings greasy and soggy. A light batter, made with flour, eggs, and milk, will allow the onion flavor to shine through.
  • Season the batter well: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to the batter to taste. You can also add herbs, like parsley or thyme, for extra flavor.
  • Fry the onion rings in hot oil: This will help them cook quickly and evenly. The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Drain the onion rings on paper towels: This will help remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the onion rings hot: Onion rings are best served hot, with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can make delicious onion rings that will be the hit of your next party or gathering. Onion rings are a versatile side dish that can be served with burgers, hot dogs, or sandwiches. They can also be enjoyed as a snack on their own. No matter how you serve them, onion rings are sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
