Onion Ring Wannabes Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Heat about 1/2 inch oil in skillet (don't overheat or will burn quickly)
• 2. While oil is heating, chop up onion into large pieces, but seperate the layers.
• 3. Combine the remaining ingredients and mix completely.
• 4. Stir in the chopped onion.
• 5. Drop into hot oil (I dropped about 1/3 c of batter per) and brown, then flip and brown the other side.

Steps:

• Whisk together eggs, milk, flour, baking powder, and onion salt in a bowl to make a smooth batter.
• Heat the oil in a large saucepan or deep fryer until a thermometer reads 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Dip the onion rings evenly into the batter, then fry in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes, working in batches if necessary, until the onion rings are golden brown. With a slotted spoon, remove the onion rings to paper towels to drain. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C). Grease a baking sheet with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
• Cut the onion crosswise into ½-inch (1 cm) slices and gently push apart each layer to get individual rings. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Add the eggs to a separate large bowl. Add the flour to a third large bowl.
• Dredge the onion rings in the flour, then the eggs, then finally in the bread crumb mixture, making sure to coat all sides.
• Arrange the onion rings on the baking sheet.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on both sides.
• Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Put the onions in a large bowl and cover with milk. Let soak for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using a fine-sieve over a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, chili powder, and cumin, if using. Stir in the beer until a smooth batter is formed. Set aside.
• Drain the onions and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Blot the onions with paper towels until dry.
• In a large, wide heavy-bottomed pot, pour in the oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat to 400 degrees F. (The oil must be heated to 400 degrees F. since the temperature drops oil to about 375 degrees F. when the onions are added.)
• Working in batches, transfer about 8 to 10 of the onions to the batter and mix to coat well. Using tongs, pull several of the onions out of the batter, and let any excess batter fall back into the bowl. Carefully add to the oil and fry, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 1/2 minutes per batch. Using the tongs, transfer to a dry paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Repeat with the remaining onions. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, deep skillet over medium high heat.
• Prepare pancake mix according to package directions.
• One at a time, dip Spanish onion rings into the prepared pancake batter, then into the hot oil. Fry until crispy and browned, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
