STEAKHOUSE ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Soak the onion rings in the milk mixture for 30 minutes. Toss each ring in the flour mixture; repeat, dipping rings in milk and flour again. Fry in the hot oil until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels; season with salt.

OLD FASHIONED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
• Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
• Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside. Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping. The wire rack may be placed over a sheet of aluminum foil for easier clean up. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat. Give it a hard tap as you remove it from the crumbs. The coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.
• Deep fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with seasoning salt, and serve.

ONION RINGS LIKE HACKNEY'S

Steps:

• Slice the onion into thin rings, about 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick. Separate the rings completely, place into a bowl and pour the milk and water over them. Swish them around occasionally and let sit for about 30 minutes.
• Place the flour, salt and paprika into a plastic bag and shake to combine. Heat oil in a frying appliance or in a large, deep frying pot to 360°.
• Using a fork, lift a bunch of rings out of the bowl and let the milk drip, then add the rings into the flour bag. Twist the bag shut and shake it, coating the rings. Lift the rings out and shake them a little back into the bag, to remove excess flour.
• Add the rings to the oil and let cook, stirring occasionally to keep them cooking evenly. Don't worry about trying to keep them separated -- because they're thinly sliced they're going to want to tumble around each other. Let them cook for about 2-3 minutes, until they're a nice golden brown. Remove with a large slotted spoon, letting the excess oil drip back into the pot, and place on a paper towel-lined sheet pan.
• These are best consumed hot from the fryer.
• One large Spanish onion is equal to about 3 batches of rings in the fryer.
• This recipe is really easy to double, triple, etc.
