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.

OLD FASHIONED ONION RINGS RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Old Fashioned Onion Rings Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-10847

Number Of Ingredients 10

Serves 3
1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup milk, or as needed
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs or Panko bread crumbs, pulsed in the food processor to make the crumbs super tiny)...not at all greasy with a fabulous crunch!
seasoned salt to taste
1 quart oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • 1.Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). 2.Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. 3.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. 4.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. Suggestions: FOR NO MESS - I put the flour mix into a big resealable bag, throw all my onion slices in and shake really well until they're all coated. Then take the onions out, add the milk/egg to the bag and stir well. Add the onions a handful at a time, seal bag and mush the bag until all slices are coated, take out with tongs and put on wire rack over foil or wax paper...then put my Panko breadcrumbs into a big tupperware bowl, add the onions a handful at a time (with tongs), put the lid on and shake shake shake. Put the onions from the bowl directly into the hot oil with clean tongs, woo-hoo no mess!!!

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 onion
1 1/4 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 egg
1 c milk
3/4 c seasoned dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F.
  • 2. Seperate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • 3. Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside. On another paper plate put the seasoned bread crumbs on it, set aside.
  • 4. Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then let drip a little.
  • 5. Transfer a few at a time to the seasoned bread crumbs, and coat the rings best you can with the bread crumbs.
  • 6. Fry a few at a time for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain, salt if you wish.

Tips:

  • For crispier onion rings, use a light beer in the batter.
  • To make sure the onion rings are cooked evenly, fry them in small batches.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the onion rings. This will cause them to steam instead of fry.
  • Serve the onion rings immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
  • If you want to make the onion rings ahead of time, you can coat them in the batter and then freeze them. When you're ready to cook them, just thaw them and fry them as directed.
