By MJH

Ingredients

• 2 large onion, cut into 1/4 in slices
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 egg
• 2 cups milk, as needed
• 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, dry
• Seasoning salt to taste
• Oil, for frying approx 1 qt

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F.

Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside.

In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.

Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside.

Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork.

Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping.

The wire rack may be placed over a sheet of aluminum foil for easier clean up.

Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish.

Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the rings to coat.

The coating should cling very well.

Repeat with remaining rings.

Deep fry the rings a few at time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown.

Remove to paper towels to drain. Seasoning with season salt, and serve
