How to Make Batter Fried Onion Rings
- Thinly slice one large onion (about 3 cups) and cover with cold water. Let stand for 30 minutes.
- Remove onion slices, gently press between paper towels to thoroughly dry.
- Separate onion slices into individual rings.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk, 1 large egg, and 1/4 cup melted shortening (vegetable or canola oil).
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until just combined. Do not overmix. The batter should be slightly lumpy.
- Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to 375°F (190°C).
- Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully place in the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove onion rings with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy these addictive onion rings while they're hot and crispy!
