Crunchy Onion Rings


This is my first post! I made these onion rings yesterday to eat during the world cup game. They turned out great and I don't even like onion rings! They are a little time consuming but definitely worth it!

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
3/4 dry bread crumbs
Seasoned salt to taste
Oil for frying

1. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 F
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 over a cookie sheet to drain until the batter stops dripping. Spread the bread crumbs our on a plate or shallow dish. Place the 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.
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.

We made these last week and YUM! I don't generally even like onion rings but I was crazy about these. Tyler loved them too.
