Posted: 2/23/2006 5:04:33 PM | Here's a New England Style Recipe for ya...
First you need to make the wash usually I use a couple of cans of Evaporated Milk along with one egg per can of Evap...wisk together well.
Then combine 3 parts corn flour with one part white flour.
Slice your onions (not too thin!!!) moisten the onions with a bit of water and dredge them in the flour mix and set aside for a few seconds. Dip in the wash then into the flour mix coating the onions well (yeah it's messy...)
Fry in 350 degree shortening (lard is best) for a couple of minutes till done...drain on some paper towels and enjoy... | |

It drives me crazy.

Posted: 2/24/2006 12:42:29 AM | 3 large sweet onions
1 1/2 cups of flour
1 1/2 tsp. of salt
1 1/2 tsp. of baking powder
2 tsp. of sugar
2 eggs
1 1/4 cup of milk
1/4 cup of vegetable
*additional oil to fry with
Peel 3 large sweet onions, leaving them whole. Cut crosswise into 1/4 inch thick slices. Separate slices into individual rings.
Dry separated rings thoroughly with paper towels.
After thoroughly drying rings, dredge them in flour. This can be done by putting flour on a plate and placing the onion rings in the flour and turning until well coated.
If you have a lot of rings to dredge, it may be faster to put the flour in a bag and then place several rings at a time in the flour. Shake the bag until all rings are well coated and then remove the rings from the bag.
Prepare batter:
Mix 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1 1/2 tsp. of salt, 1 1/2 tsp. of baking powder, and 2 tsp. of sugar in a bowl and set aside.
Blend together 2 eggs, 1 1/4 cup of milk, and 1/4 cup of vegetable oil.
Add flour mixture and beat until well blended.
Add 1 inch of oil to a deep-sided pan. Heat oil to 375°F. If oil is not hot enough, the onion rings will be greasy when cooked. If it is too hot, the batter will brown too quickly and the onions will not be cooked thoroughly.
Dip flour coated onion rings into the batter until entire ring is coated. Allow excess batter to drip off before placing in the hot oil.
Place batter coated rings into the hot oil. Place several rings in the hot oil at a time but do not overcrowd the rings. This will allow them to cook evenly.
Fry rings rings until they are golden brown on the first side and then turn to cook on the second side.
When rings are golden brown on both sides, remove the rings from the oil and place on a paper towel lined baking sheet for oil to drain off. To keep hot, place baking sheet, with finished onion rings, in an oven preheated to 300°F until all rings are done. When rings are done, serve immediately while hot.

Posted: 2/24/2006 4:17:45 PM | I think its all a matter of how complex you wanna get here. I know a simple recipe which works, tastes wonderful, and its not a lot of prep time... Pick out your onions, red, white, vidalia, idaho, whatever... peel em, of course, and cut into slices about 1/2 inch wide. Take some good old fashioned Flour... doesn't matter if its h&r, ap, bisquick, whatever... put that in one bowl, mix in a lil salt, a lil cracked black pepper, garlic salt, and if you wanna spice em up a bit, add a pinch of light chili powder. dat's one bowl... as for makin it adhere to the rings, fill another bowl about half full of tap water. Separatin the onion rings, dip and flour three times, then fry em up with cookin oil around 375 degrees. Cook til crispy ( usually a yellowish coloring.)
Serve em up, and Bon Apetite'

Cut a large sweet onion into 1/2 inch to 1 inch slices, depending on personal preference.
Dip rings one at a time in buttermilk, then roll in flour, and lay out on wax paper or a large cookie sheet.
After flouring the desired amount of rings, re-dip in buttermilk (again one at a time) and roll in coarse bread crumbs.
Trick: Do not stack onion rings, as they may stick together. Always handle gently so as not to knock off breading or flour.You can also freeze them on a flat non-stick cookie sheet or shallow pan a dozen or so at a time till the breading is frozen solid, then place in a large zip lock bag with a few tablespoons of flour to keep them from sticking together.
Fry in 350 degree oil for 3-4 minutes till golden brown, or pan fry, turning once, being careful not to burn either side.
Allow 3-6 onion rings per serving, depending on appetite. Serve with catsup and Ranch dressing on the side.
Some evening when you have nothing to do, practice this recipe by trying to make a few onion rings at a time and experimenting till you become proficient. Have friends over for a movie or something to eat the mistakes. | |

Posted: 7/26/2008 7:28:59 PM | Seriously, tempura fried is the best way to go, their light, airy, and delicious.
Get a simple tepmura recipe, cut your onion rings(thick or thin) your choice, dredge in seasoned flour and dip in tempura, deep fry season with salt and enjoy.
its simple, trust me im a chef. | |

Posted: 8/3/2008 12:13:02 AM | | I have made a million onion rings and I have to say that chefdan is right, in my opinion. I am not into thick or heavy batters on onion rings. I love the light and crisp batter you get from doing it like chefdan says. I don't dredge though, I use a paper bag and shake them, because it is easier, as well it seems to just work better for me. But the tempura part is just dipping, small chop sticks work best. You pretty much have to dip individually. It is all part of how tempura works. Never mix your tempura mix together, you are supposed to have flour sitting on top of the water. A little rice vinegar in the water is the trick. | |
