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
seasoned salt to taste
1-quart oil for frying, or as needed
HOW TO MAKE OLD FASHIONED ONION RINGS
Step 1: In a deep fryer, add the oil and heat to about 365 degrees F or 185 degrees C.
Step 2: Then, part the onion slices into rings and set aside.
Step 3: Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
Step 4: Dip each onion slice into the flour mixture until all sides are evenly coated. Set aside.
Step 5: Whisk with a fork the egg and milk into the flour mixture.
Step 6: Dredge the floured rings into the batter until completely coated. Transfer the coated rings on a wire rack until the batter stops dripping. You can place a sheet of aluminum foil under the wire rack for easier cleaning.
Step 7: In a plate or shallow dish, add and spread the bread crumbs.
Step 8: Dip the rings in the crumbs one at a time. Scoop the crumbs to better cover the rings. Then, give the rings a hard tap to get rid of the excess crumbs. Don’t worry because the coating will cling very well.
Step 9: Repeat with the rest of the rings.
Step 10: Deep fry the rings by batches for about 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown.
Step 11: Transfer the cooked onion rings to paper towels to drain.
Step 12: Before serving season them with salt. Enjoy!
