  • 1 piece yellow onion sliced
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

10 cooking steps

  1. Break up the onion slices into individual rings and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing well.
  3. Dredge the onion rings in the flour mixture and set aside.
  4. Prepare the batter by adding the egg and milk to the remaining flour mixture and whisking until smooth.
  5. Dip the floured onion rings into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off.
  6. Place the breadcrumbs in a plastic bag or container and add the battered onion rings, shaking gently to coat evenly.
  7. Heat a deep pot or fryer with cooking oil to 350-375°F (175-190°C).
  8. Deep-fry the onion rings in batches until golden brown, approximately 2 minutes per batch.
  9. Remove the onion rings from the oil using tongs or a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
  10. Transfer to a serving plate and serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Recipe notes

  • Maintain oil temperature at 350-375°F (175-190°C) for best results; too low and rings will be greasy, too high and they will burn.
  • Work in small batches to avoid crowding the pot, which lowers oil temperature.
  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or garlic powder to the flour mixture.

Storage notes

  • Best consumed immediately while crispy.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in a 400°F (200°C) oven for 5-10 minutes to restore crispness.
