Onion Rings
These onion rings will quickly become a favorite! Made with buttermilk and bread crumbs and the taste is wonderful.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 sweet Vidalia onions peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk could use regular milk
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup plain Panko bread crumbs
- Oil for frying I use canola
- Extra salt for cooked onion rings
Instructions
- You will need 3 medium sized bowls. Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in one. Whisk the buttermilk and egg in the second bowl and the bread crumbs go in the third.
- Add about 3/4 cup of oil to a skillet. Oil should be deep enough to float onion rings. I like to use canola when frying because it makes a crispier crust. Dip each onion ring in the flour, then milk and bread crumbs last.
- Drop in hot oil and fry on each side about 30 seconds. Drain on paper towels.
- Sprinkle with salt to taste while hot.
- Makes about 2 dozen onion rings depending on the size of your onions and thickness of your onion rings.
Notes
If you can’t find Vidalia onions, any sweet onions will do.
I use a large two tined fork or tongs to dip the onions and to remove them from the skillet.
