Description
A recipe for making onion rings that are crispy on the outside and tender inside.
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 panko 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 together the milk and eggs.
- In a third shallow dish, place the panko breadcrumbs.
- Dip each onion ring first into the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Next, dip the floured ring into the milk and egg mixture, letting excess drip off.
- Finally, coat the ring thoroughly in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere. Place coated rings on a wire rack.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry the onion rings in small batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Do not overcrowd the pot.
- Remove the cooked rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, chill the coated onion rings in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before frying.
- Maintain the oil temperature between 360°F and 380°F for best results.
