Onion rings to die for. Fluffy and soft and crunchy and delicious!

Ingredients

  • 2 Jumbo Onions, Vidalia/sweet onion, optional
  • 1 ¼ Cups All-Purpose Flour
  • ¼ Cup Granulated Sugar
  • ¼ Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • Oil for frying, vegetable, canola, or peanut preferred
  • Deep-fry Thermometer
  • Deep Saucepan or Dutch Oven
  • Plate and paper towels (for drainage)
  • Sheet pan (for keeping onion rings warm in oven)

Directions

  1. 1

    Prep a place to drain cooked onion rings near cooking station.

  2. 2

    Clip deep fry thermometer inside a pot and add several inches of oil, enough for onion ring to submerge fully without hitting bottom when gently "dropped" in.

  3. 3

    Begin to slowly preheat oil while you prep rings and batter. (Keep close watch on your oil temperature.)

  4. 4

    Preheat oven to 200°F.

  5. 5

    Peel and slice the onions about 1-inch thick.

  6. 6

    Separate the slices into rings.

  7. 7

    Mix the dry ingredients for the batter.

  8. 8

    Stir in milk, mixing to combine, but do not overwork the batter. Batter should be thick enough for onion ring to sit upon without sinking into.

  9. 9

    When the oil nears 400°F, coat one onion ring in the batter.

  10. 10

    Carefully "drop" onion ring into 400°F oil.

  11. 11

    Fry the battered rings individually, flipping as needed so that each side reaches a golden brown.

  12. 12

    It should take about 1-2 minutes total, but let color and experience be your guide.
