Onion Rings Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 large sliced into rings onions
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 qt for frying oil
Instructions:
- Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 365°F (185°C).
- In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Dip the onion rings into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside.
- Whisk the milk and egg together in a medium bowl. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping.
- Spread the breadcrumbs 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 salt, and serve.
What You Will Need
What you will need to make onion rings
Onions: Provide the essential base flavor and structure for the rings, giving them their signature taste and texture.
All-purpose flour: Creates the initial coating, helping the batter stick to the onions for a crispy outer layer.
Baking powder: Adds lightness to the batter, ensuring the onion rings are airy and not too dense.
Milk: Combines with the flour to form a smooth batter, aiding in even coating and frying.
Breadcrumbs: Give the rings an extra crunch, making them crispy and golden when fried.
Oil for frying: Necessary for deep frying, it cooks the rings evenly and gives them a golden, crispy exterior.
Tools and Instruments Needed
- Deep fryer: Ensures even cooking and the perfect golden brown color for the onion rings.
- Wire rack: Allows excess batter to drip off, ensuring a crispier coating.
- Mixing bowl: Essential for combining dry and wet ingredients smoothly.
- Whisk: Helps to blend milk and egg thoroughly for a consistent batter.
- Paper towels: Absorbs excess oil from fried onion rings, making them less greasy.
