Description
A recipe for making classic, crispy onion rings at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large yellow onions
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Peel and slice the onions into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- In a second shallow dish, whisk the milk and eggs together.
- In a third shallow dish, place the breadcrumbs.
- Dip each onion ring first into the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Next, dip the floured ring into the milk and egg mixture.
- Finally, coat the ring thoroughly in the breadcrumbs. Place coated rings on a plate.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Carefully place a few onion rings into the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding.
- Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove the rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, chill the coated rings for 30 minutes before frying.
- Adjust the oil temperature as needed to maintain 375°F (190°C) during frying.
