Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups canola oil, if required (for deep frying, or more)
1 large vidalia onions or 1 large regular onion, sliced into 1/4 inch slices and separated into individual rings
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup whole milk, homogenized
1 1/4 cups panko breadcrumbs (more if required)
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt, for sprinkle

Steps:

In a deep 8 inch saucepan or a small deep fryer, add the oil and heat to 365°F.
Slice onions into 1/4 inch thick slices (across the onion) and separate into individual rings; set aside.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and seasoning salt.
Dredge all the onion rings in the flour mixture until well coated; set aside.
In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk and add to the remaining flour mixture that was used for dredging the onion rings. Whisk, until a creamy batter is formed; not too thick. If too thick, add some milk to thin.
Place a wire rack on a sheet of aluminum foil to catch drippings.
Dip the flour coated onion rings in the batter to coat well.
Using a fork, remove and place the coated onion rings on the wire rack and let the excess batter drip off, about 1 minute.
In another mixing bowl, add the Panko bread crumbs.
Roll the onion rings in the bread crumbs until thoroughly coated and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Deep fry the onion rings in batches of 4 to 6 for 1 minute, turn over and continue to deep fry for another 30 seconds to 1 minute or until golden in color. Do not overcook.
Remove to paper towels to drain and season with seasoning salt.
When serving, spinkle with Malt vinegar and some ketchup on the side for dipping.
You can use regular or seasoned bread crumbs if Panko is not available.

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1 loaf of day old bread, Sour Dough, Italian, French, homemade
2 teaspoons seasoning salt
1 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
1 teaspoon beau monde seasoning (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 300°F.
Cut the bread into pieces that will go through the tube on a food processor.
Using the food processor with a shredding disk, push the bread pieces through the tube to make coarse bread crumbs.
Transfer the crumbs to a large mixing bowl.
Sprinkle with seasoning salt, granulated garlic powder and Beau Monde seasoning; toss well to coat.
Transfer the coated bread crumbs to parchment lined baking sheets and spread to thin layers.
Bake in preheated 300 F oven for 6 minutes or until bread crumbs are dry, but not toasted, Stir the bread crumbs at least once during baking time. Do not let crumbs brown, they should still be just off white in color.
Turn oven off, open the oven door for about 10 minutes to cool slightly and leave the bread crumbs in the oven to further dry for at least 1/2 hour.
Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Store the crumbs in a container with lid or you may freeze them in zip-lok bags or vacuum seal bags. They will last for several months.
Do not forget to label and date the containers.
Use these crumbs on recipes that call for bread crumbs.

Tips:

Use stale bread for the best results. Fresh bread will not produce as crispy breadcrumbs.
Cut the bread into small cubes before drying it out. This will help the breadcrumbs to dry evenly.
Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them to dry out quickly and evenly.
Bake the bread cubes at a low temperature for a long period of time. This will help to dry them out without browning them.
Pulse the dried bread cubes in a food processor until they reach the desired consistency. Be careful not to over-process the breadcrumbs, or they will become too fine.
Store the breadcrumbs in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They will keep for up to 6 months.
