Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Onion Large White Onion
  • 1 Cup Sunflower Oil or any alternive oil of your choice
  • 1 1/4 Cup Plain Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 Cup Milk
  • 1 Egg Large
  • 3/4 Cup Breadcrumbs

Instructions
 

  • Begin by slicing your onion into 1/4-inch-thick rings. This size is perfect for getting that ideal balance of onion and crispy coating.
  • Heat your oil in a deep-fryer until it looks seriously hot!
  • Set up your breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In the second, blend the milk and egg. Place the bread crumbs in the third.
  • Coat each onion ring in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully covered. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off. Finally, coat it well in the bread crumbs.
  • Fry the onion rings in batches of 3-4 at a time until they're golden brown, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Drain them on paper towels.Finish by sprinkling with seasoned salt to taste.
