OLD FASHIONED ONION RINGS



Old Fashioned Onion Rings image

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.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect batter, use a combination of flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. This will give the onion rings a crispy coating.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs for a crunchy texture. You can also use regular breadcrumbs, but panko breadcrumbs will give you a lighter and airier coating.
  • Season the batter and breadcrumbs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika or cayenne pepper, to taste.
  • Dip the onion rings in the batter and then coat them in the breadcrumbs. Make sure that the onion rings are completely coated.
  • Fry the onion rings in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, or the onion rings will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the onion rings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Savory baked onion rings are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick snack. With a crispy coating and a tender, flavorful interior, these onion rings are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
