OUR BETTER THAN FAST FOOD ONION RINGS

Onion Rings

4 Large White Onions

6 Cups Unbleached Flour

3 Tablespoons Salt

3 teaspoons of Garlic Powder

1 1/2 teaspoons of Black Pepper

2 1/2 teaspoons of Paprika

4 Large Eggs

1/2 Cup Milk

Canola or Vegetable Oil for frying

These are the BEST homemade onion rings. Not much batter, light, crispy and delicious. It seems like it would be overwhelming, but actually it is well worth the time.

Start out with 4 large white onions. We have found these work the best. They have a really great flavor.

Next, slice them up. If you do them a little on the thin side, they cook up really nicely and are a perfect consistency. When you slice them, only keep the bigger rings. The middle pieces are not as good for the rings. I usually only keep the first 4 to 5 outer rings and toss the rest.

Next, add the seasonings to the flour. I have 3 bowls that I set up for flour and wet ingredients. The first bowl will have 2 cups of flour, 1 Tbsp of salt, 1 tsp of garlic powder, 1/2 tsp of black pepper, and 1 tsp of Paprika. The third bowl that is a little bigger than the 1st will have; 4 cups of flour, 2 Tbsp salt, 2 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 1/2 tsp paprika.

Once all dry ingredients are in the 2 bowls, whisk them until combined.

In the 2nd bowl, add the 4 eggs and 1/2 cup of milk and whisk it together until combined.

Put your oil into a large skillet or deep fryer and get it heated up. Get your ingredients lined up in the order of, sliced onions, smaller flour mixture, egg mixture, larger flour mixture and heated oil. On the other side of the oil I put a cookie sheet lined with paper towels to put hot onion rings on.

Put onion rings in first flour mixture and coat, knock off excess flour and add to egg mixture. Coat the onion in the egg, using tongs take rings from egg mixture to the last flour mixture bowl. Let the rings drip off the excess egg so your bowls don't get all gooey. After dredging in last flour mixture, shake off excess flour and add the rings into the oil. Don't crowd them in the pan or they will stick together.

Once they reach a golden brown, remove them onto paper towel lined cookie sheet and salt them. Repeat all steps until they are all fried up.

Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
