Ingredients

  • 1 large onion cut into 1/4 inch slices
  • 1 1/4 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 quart oil for frying
  • salt for seasoning

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil to 350 degrees F.
Separate the 1/4 inch slices of onion into separate rings.
In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Coat onion rings in the dry mixture completely and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine egg and milk and whisk until completely combined.
Dip the flour-coated onion rings into egg-milk mixture and place on a wire rack to let excess egg-milk mixture drain.
While onion rings drain, pour Panko bread crumbs into a shallow dish. Dip egg-milk coated onion rings into Panko bread crumbs until completely coated. Spoon crumbs over the top to cover as necessary.
Place in hot oil and cook 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on each side until it reaches a nice golden brown color. Flip them over to cook the other side.
Place on a paper towel to let any excess oil drain off. Sprinkle each onion ring with a little salt.
