Homemade Easy Peasy Onion Rings!

How good are onion rings?!! Damn good. Delicious crunchy batter, sweet tasty insides, they are the perfect accompaniment to almost any meal! Not the healthiest, as they are fried, but cook them in olive or coconut oil for a better oil choice!

We had ours with our steak tonight!

Fried Onion Rings

Ingredients

3 large brown onions

1/2 cup flour

3/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 beaten egg

1/2 cup milk

cooking oil for deep frying (I prefer coconut or olive oil)

Method

Serves around 6 people (or 1-2 very hungry onion ring loving people haha)

Wash and peel onions, cut into 1/2 cm thick rounds. 

Separate rounds into rings. 

In a bowl, combine flour, seasonings, and baking powder. 

In a measuring cup, whisk together egg and milk.

 Add milk mixture to dry ingredients, blending well. 

Dip onion rings into batter, then place into oil, one at a time at about 185 degrees celcius. (To test your oil, drop a small piece of bread into the oil, it should brown quickly, rather than sink and go soggy!)

Fry until golden brown, turning to brown both sides. 

Remove to paper towels or brown paper bag to drain thoroughly. 

Sprinkle with a little salt before serving.

Keep your rings warm, and to help them stay crunchy, in a warm oven (around 150 degrees) while you cook the rest!

Happy Cooking (from Scratch!)
