How to make it

7 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Slice the onions

    Slice the onions into 1/4 inch thick rings and separate them.

  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt

    In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. Dip each onion ring

    Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture until well coated, then set aside.

  4. Whisk the egg and milk

    Whisk the egg and milk into the remaining flour mixture using a fork until no lumps remain.

  5. Dip the floured rings

    Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then drop them into the Panko breadcrumbs and toss to coat thoroughly.

  6. Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot

    Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 375°F (190°C). Fry the rings in batches for 2-3 minutes until golden brown.

A little kitchen wisdom

For the crispest results, ensure the oil stays at a consistent temperature. Using Panko breadcrumbs provides a superior crunch compared to traditional breadcrumbs.
