How to Make Batter Fried Onion Rings

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