Homemade Old-Fashioned Onion Rings

Wow, wow, WOW! These are amazingly good. When I saw the recipe and hundreds of rave reviews on Allrecipes, I knew instantly that I was going to try these. The taste is spot on and they are crunchy and salty -- perfect! I changed the technique from the original recipe as the bread crumb definitely adhered more evenly after I changed it. If you want to impress company, make these!

Ingredients:

• 1 large sweet onion, sliced into 1/4-inch rings
• 1 1/4 c flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 egg
• 1 c milk
• 3/4 c dry bread crumbs
• Seasoned salt, to taste
• 1 qt oil, for frying

Directions:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt.
  
• Dip onion slices into the flour mixture, until coated; set aside.
• Whisk egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork.
  
• Dip floured rings into the batter to coat. Allow excess to drip off of the onion rings for a moment.
• Pour bread crumb into a shallow bowl. Coat the onion rings and set them aside. Remember to use one hand for handling the wet ingredients and one hand for handling the dry ingredients.
  

• Preheat deep fryer for 365 degrees.
  
• Deep fry the onion rings for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown.
• Season the onion rings with seasoned salt.
• ENJOY!
