Amazing Crispy Fried Onion Rings

---

These onion rings are perfectly coated by the batter; not overly thick batter that hides the taste of the onions. i prefer to slice regular onions thin so that the result is a fine, crisp onion ring. i challenge you to try this one out on friends using your favorite recipe. i think it is fantastic and hope you will, too.

Steps

---

In a 3 quart pot , heat about 3-4 inches of vegetable oil on medium to medium high heat.

---

Combine all dry ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix in milk with a whisk , adding more milk if needed until mixture is the consistency is like a thin-medium pancake batter.

---

Cut onions into thin rings and toss in batter.

---

Place a single ring into the oil to test for appropriate heat.

---

Onion ring should sizzle and start to brown immediately.

---

Place small batches of onion rings into the oil and when they turn dark golden brown on one side , flip them over to the othe side with a slotted spoon or carving fork.

---

Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.

---

Repeat until all onions are done.

---

I like to salt the cooked onion rings , but that is optional.
