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.

Tips:

  • Use sweet onions: Sweet onions, such as Vidalia or Maui onions, have a milder flavor and are less likely to overpower the other ingredients in the onion rings.
  • Slice the onions evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Use a buttermilk batter: Buttermilk batter helps to make the onion rings crispy and flavorful. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Season the batter well: Don't be afraid to add some salt, pepper, and other spices to the batter to taste.
  • Dredge the onion rings in flour before dipping them in the batter: This will help the batter to adhere to the onions.
  • Fry the onion rings in hot oil: The oil should be at least 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). This will help the onion rings to cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the onion rings, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the onion rings to cook unevenly.
  • Drain the onion rings on paper towels: After frying, drain the onion rings on paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Conclusion:

These tips will help you make delicious onion rings that are crispy, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion. Serve them as an appetizer, side dish, or snack. They're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
