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.

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.

Steps:
- Begin by peeling the onions and slicing very thinly, use a mandoline slicer if you can. Separate the onion slices and place them in a shallow baking dish and pour the buttermilk over the top. Press the onions down so they're submerged as much as possible and let them soak on the counter for at least an hour. If necessary, stir them around a bit halfway through the soaking process.
- In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper and cayenne, and set aside.
- Pour 1 to 2 quarts canola oil in a pot or Dutch oven. Heat to 375 degrees F, or until a pinch of flour sizzles when sprinkled over the pot.
- Using tongs, remove a handful of onions from the buttermilk and immediately dunk into the flour mixture. Coat the onions in the flour mixture, and then tap them on the inside of the bowl to shake off the excess.
- Plunge the onions in the hot oil. With a spoon, fiddle with them a bit just to break them up, and watch them! They'll be ready to remove from the oil in no time flat.
- When they're golden brown (this should take just a minute or two), remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Repeat with the remaining onion slices and serve immediately.
- Pile these on top of a juicy grilled hamburger - to die for!

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.

THE BEST ONION RINGS
Our onion rings, made from white onions, are fried in peanut oil.

Steps:
- Combine flour, cumin, cayenne, and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk in buttermilk, beer, and egg until smooth. Let batter stand 15 minutes.
- In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees. Working in batches, dip onion slices in batter, turning to coat. Gently drop slices into hot oil. Cook, turning rings once, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. (Adjust heat between batches as necessary to keep oil at a steady temperature.)
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer rings to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Season immediately with salt.
Tips:
- To make perfect onion rings, choose large, firm onions with thin layers, such as yellow or white onions.
- Slice the onions evenly, about 1/4 inch thick. If the slices are too thick, they will be difficult to coat and fry evenly.
- Soak the onion slices in milk or buttermilk for at least 30 minutes. This helps to tenderize the onions and remove their sharp flavor.
- Use a light touch when coating the onion slices in flour or bread crumbs. Too much coating will make the onion rings greasy and heavy.
- Fry the onion rings in hot oil until they are 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 delicious and versatile snack or side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect onion rings at home that are crispy, flavorful, and sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a tasty treat, give onion rings a try!
