  • 1 Cup Flour
  • 2 Cup Bread crumbs
  • 1 Egg

  • Heat vegetable oil to 375F.
  • Slice onions 1/4 inch think and take apart.
  • Toss each piece first in the flour, then milk/egg, then bread crumbs. Make sure to fully coat each piece during each step. Set aside on a cutting board until oil is ready.
  • Put onion rings in your basket and put in the hot oil; bobbing the basket up and down a few times to avoid the oil bubbling too high. Cover with lid (if applicable) and fry for 3-4 mins. until golden brown.

Don't throw away your oil after you are done! Let oil cool completely, strain and store in a container in the fridge. Oil can be reused 3-4 times.
