Ever since I first tried onion rings at a county fair when I was a kid, I’ve been hooked on their crispy, savory goodness. There’s something about the combination of sweet onions and crunchy batter that makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
- 1 large onion, sliced into 1/4 inch rings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 quart oil for frying
- Optional: spices or seasonings of choice
Begin by peeling the onion and slicing it into 1/4 inch thick rings. Carefully separate the rings from each other.
In a bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Feel free to add any spices or seasonings here for extra flavor.
In another bowl, whisk the beaten egg with milk. This mixture will help the breadcrumbs stick to the onions for that perfect crunch.
Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumbs. Ensure each ring is well-coated at each step for the best texture.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or a deep skillet to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C). Fry the breaded onion rings in batches until they are golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Final words
Congratulations, you’ve just made some of the best onion rings around! These crispy golden delights are best served immediately while they’re hot and extra crunchy. Don’t forget the dipping sauces – ranch, ketchup, or a spicy aioli can take these onion rings to the next level. Thank you for following this recipe, and I wish you a fabulous snacking experience.
