Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large sweet onion – peeled and sliced into rings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour – for the coating
- 1 teaspoon baking powder – helps with crispiness
- 1 teaspoon salt – adds flavor to the batter
- 1 cup milk – to help make the batter smooth
- 1 large egg – helps bind the batter
- 3/4 cup bread crumbs – for a crispy crust
- Oil for frying – for cooking the onion rings
Instructions
- Slice the onion into rings and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, beat the egg and milk until combined.
- In a third bowl, add the bread crumbs.
- Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, coating fully. Transfer to the egg mixture and turn using a fork until fully coated. Then, dip in the bread crumbs and turn until well-coated.
- Heat a deep frying pan and fill with oil. Once the oil is hot, fry the onion rings in batches of 3-4 at a time, until golden brown.
- Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Serve with ketchup or mayonnaise and enjoy!
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of salt and bread crumbs to taste.
- For extra crispy onion rings, use panko breadcrumbs or double coat the onion rings.
