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:

  1. Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 365°F (185°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Dip the onion rings into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ:
How do I get the batter to stick to the onion rings?
Make sure the onion rings are well-coated in flour before dipping them into the batter. This helps the batter adhere better.
Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, you can use gluten-free flour or whole wheat flour, but the texture might be slightly different.
How do I know when the oil is hot enough for frying?
Use a thermometer to check if the oil has reached 365°F (185°C). Alternatively, drop a small bit of batter into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, the oil is ready.
Can I bake these instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake them at 450°F (230°C) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, but they won't be as crispy.
How do I store leftover onion rings?
Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
