Ingredients
2 large onions
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
Oil for frying
Instructions
Prepare the Onions:
Peel the onions and slice them into ¼-inch thick rings.
Separate the slices into individual rings and set aside.
Make the Batter:
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Dip the onion rings into the flour mixture to coat; set aside.
Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture until smooth.
Bread the Onion Rings:
Spread the bread crumbs on a plate.
Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place them on a wire rack to drain excess batter.
Dredge the rings in bread crumbs until evenly coated.
Fry the Onion Rings:
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 365°F (185°C).
Fry the onion rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove and drain on paper towels.
Notes
For extra crispiness, double-dip the onion rings by repeating the batter and bread crumb steps.
Serve immediately for the best texture.
Pair with dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch, or spicy mayo.
