Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet onions, sliced into 1/2-inch rings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there’s enough oil to submerge the onion rings.
- Separate the onion slices into individual rings.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth to form a batter.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish for coating.
- Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in small batches. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining onion rings.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ketchup, ranch, or honey mustard.
