Ingredients

• 1-2 onions, large
• 1 quart of olive or other cooking oil
• 1 ¼ cup flour, preferably all-purpose
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 whole egg
• 1 cup milk, whole or low-fat
• Breadcrumbs as needed (optional)

Procedure

• Slice the ends off the onions and separate into thick layers.
• While you prep your onion rings, heat oil in deep skillet or pot. When oil starts to ripple or bubble, it is ready for frying.
• Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Take individual onion rings and add the flour mixture, coating well. Place the powdered onion rings on a clean baking sheet.
• Slowly stir in the egg and milk into the flour mixture. Whisk to form a batter. Take the floured onion rings and dip them in the batter until coated. Set aside on a rack.

Pour breadcrumbs on an open dish or plate. Roll the batter-coated onion rings in the breadcrumbs. Shake off any excess crumbs and drop onion rings into hot oil to fry. Cook until golden brown, season with a dash of salt and serve.
