DEEP FRIED ONION RINGS:

 

 

 

2 large sweet yellow onions                            

batter:

    1 cup milk****                                                      

    1 egg, slightly beaten

    1 cup + 2 tbsp. all purpose flour                             

    ½ tsp. salt

    3 tbsp. oil

    freshly ground black pepper                                               

oil for deep frying

 

 

 

Peel onion, and slice into ¼ -inch thickness. Separate the slices into rings.

 

Make batter by adding flour and salt gradually into egg and milk (or beer) mixture in a large bowl. Using a wire whisk, mix flour in well, whisking to beat up lumps. Let stand 30 minutes before using. Add in 3 tbps oil.

 

Heat enough oil for deep frying in a deep-fryer or a large saucepan until 375 degrees F. or until tested ready.

 

Dip each ring into batter to coat, let excess batter dip back into the bowl. Drop rings into oil carefully and cook a few rings at a time. Cook 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels. Keep cooked onion rings warm in a 250 degree oven while cooking the rest.

 

Sprinkle onion rings with freshly-ground pepper before serving

 

 

****Alternately, use beer to substitute for milk, but omit egg and oil in batter.****
