To make this Crispy Old Fashioned Onion Rings, You’ll need the following Ingredients:
Ingredients:
1 large onion, cut into ¼-inch slices
1 teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup dry bread crumbs
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
Seasoned salt to taste
1 cup milk, or as needed
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1-quart oil for frying, or as needed
Directions:
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 aluminium foil for easier cleanup. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. Place ring 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.
