Fried Onion Rings



These crumb-coated fried onion rings turned out crisp on the outside but tender within. I have also tried the onion rings coated with old-fashioned batter, which I have used for the fried milk. Use a bit more of milk if the batter is too thick. They taste as crisp and good as the crumbs-coated ones. They go very well as a side-dish with hamburgers or as a snack all on their own.

  • 1 large Onion

  • 2 tbsp Cake flour

  • 1 Egg

  • 1 tbsp Water

  • ½ cup Cake flour

  • ½ tsp Baking powder

  • 1 cup Bread crumbs

  • Frying oil

  1. Peel onion and slice about ¼ inch or larger (depending upon preference) thick; separate into rings. Cover with cold water and let stand for 30 minutes. Drain and spread out on paper towels.

  2. Whisk together 2 tablespoons of flour, egg and water in a mixing bowl. In another bowl, mix ½ flour and baking powder. Place bread crumbs on a medium, flat dish. Dust onion rings with flour mixture. Dip one at a time into egg mixture and coat thoroughly with bread crumbs.



  3. Heat enough oil in a large, heavy skillet to 190C/375F. Fry coated rings in the hot oil, a few at a time, until crisp and golden brown. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
