Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).

Step 2

Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.

Step 3

Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside.
Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork.
Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping.
The wire rack may be placed over a sheet of aluminum foil for easier clean up.
Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish.
Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat.
Give it a hard tap as you remove it from the crumbs. The coating should cling very well.
Repeat with remaining rings.

Step 4

Deep fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove to paper towels to drain.
Season with seasoning salt, and serve.
