Yummy Onion Rings

We were in the mood for some nice fried onion rings and I found this recipe on allrecipes.com. It is delicious and can feed a family of four easily. We only ate half the batch and I used one onion. The recipe says it takes about 20 minutes, but it took me about 45, and it was well worth it. When they were done frying, I put them on a cookie sheet lined with paper towels and set them in the oven at 200 degrees to stay warm. Also, we don't have a deep fryer, so I just filled a frying pan with oil and it worked great! That is also why it took a little longer. (the picture doesn't do it justice because we already ate half the batch!)

INGREDIENTS:

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, or as needed 3/4 cup dry bread crumbs seasoned salt to taste 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 aluminum foil for easier clean up. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. Place 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.
