Amazing Crispy Fried Onion Rings image

These onion rings are perfectly coated by the batter; not overly thick batter that hides the taste of the onions. I prefer to slice regular onions thin so that the result is a fine, crisp onion ring. I challenge you to try this one out on friends using your favorite recipe. I think it is fantastic and hope you will, too.

Categories     Onions

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 large yellow onions
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal (or corn muffin mix, as a substitute)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 cup milk (or more if desired or necessary)

Steps:

  • In a 3 quart pot, heat about 3-4 inches of vegetable oil on medium to medium high heat.
  • Combine all dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix in milk with a whisk, adding more milk if needed until mixture is the consistency is like a thin-medium pancake batter.
  • Cut onions into thin rings and toss in batter.
  • Place a single ring into the oil to test for appropriate heat. Onion ring should sizzle and start to brown immediately.
  • Place small batches of onion rings into the oil and when they turn dark golden brown on one side, flip them over to the othe side with a slotted spoon or carving fork.
  • Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all onions are done. (Add a bit more milk to the batter if it appears that the last batch isn't getting coated enough.).
  • I like to salt the cooked onion rings, but that is optional.
