Recipe

Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 3 mins Ready Time: 18 mins


• heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees f (185 degrees c).
• separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. in a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• 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.
• 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.
