Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 medium onions skinned, cut into 1/8" thick slices, separated
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoons cayenne pepper
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt plus more for garnishing
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs beaten
- vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- You'll need two medium bowls. In the first, whisk together the flour, cayenne, salt, pepper and baking powder. In the second whisk together the milk and egg.
- Heat 2"-3" of oil to 375F in a deep fryer or Dutch oven.
- Meanwhile, place the separated onion rings into the flour mixture. Using your hands, gently coat the rings in the flour.
- Transfer the rings to the milk and dunk and turn to coat well.
- Drain well and transfer the rings back to the flour mixture. Using your hands again, gently coat the rings in the flour.
- Working in batches as needed, deep-fry the rings until golden brown. This will take 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel to drain. Season immediately with more salt.
- Serve hot.
Notes
Season the rings with more salt right out of the fryer.
