Ingredients
- 2 large onions
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1.5 cups milk
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 4 cups vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the egg and then whisk in the milk until well combined.
Step 4
Gradually whisk the wet mixture into the dry ingredients to form a smooth batter.
Step 5
Place the breadcrumbs into a shallow dish.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
Step 7
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it in the breadcrumbs.
Step 8
Carefully place the onion rings in the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the onion rings to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
Step 10
Repeat with the remaining onion rings.
Step 11
To freeze: Allow the cooked onion rings to cool completely. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and place the sheet in the freezer for 1–2 hours, or until the rings are frozen solid.
Step 12
Transfer the frozen onion rings to a resealable freezer bag or airtight container and store them in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Step 13
To reheat: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and arrange the frozen onion rings on a baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until heated through and crispy.
