Ingredients
Scale
- 3 large onions, sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- Vegetable oil for deep frying
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- Dash freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup whole milk
Instructions
- Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with paper towels and heat the oven to 175 F or 200 F.
- Separate the sliced onions into rings.
- Heat about 2 to 3 inches of vegetable oil to 365 F in a deep fryer or in a deep, heavy pan over medium-high heat.
- Combine the flour, salt, pepper, and baking powder in a mixing bowl; whisk to blend.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk until well blended. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and stir to blend.
- Dip several onion rings into the batter to coat, then drop them in the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding as it will lower the temperature. Fry the onion rings for about 2 minutes or until golden brown, turning to brown both sides.
- Use a slotted spoon to transfer the onion rings to the paper towel-lined pan and place them in the warm oven. They will stay crisp for 20 to 25 minutes. Repeat with the remaining onion rings.
