OVEN FRIED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Place parchment paper onto 2 baking sheets and set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the flour, paprika and 2 teaspoons salt. In another bowl or shallow dish, whisk together the buttermilk and eggs. Add half of the flour mixture to the buttermilk and beat until smooth and thickened.
• In a separate bowl, combine the panko, olive oil and remaining 2 teaspoons salt.
• Lightly dredge the onion rings in the flour mixture and then drop into the buttermilk. Drain the excess batter and then dredge in the panko mixture.
• Arrange on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. You can place smaller rings inside bigger rings if necessary, just make sure there is space between them. Then place in the oven. Cook until golden brown, 14 to 20 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, flip over each onion ring to ensure even crisping and browning.

BATTER FRIED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Cover onion slices with cold water and let stand 30 minutes.
• Remove to paper towels and press to dry.
• Separate into rings.
• Combine flour, sugar and salt.
• Combine milk and egg in a medium bowl and add dry ingredients and melted shortening; mix thoroughly.
• Dip onion rings in batter and fry in deep fryer or skillet filled with a couple of inches of oil until golden brown on both sides.
• Remove and drain on paper towels.
• Serve immediately.

CRISPY FRIED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Mix flour, baking powder, paprika, seasoning salt and water. Stir until smooth.
• Slice onions 1/8-1/4" inch thick and seperate into rings.
• Drop onions into batter in bowl and stir gently with a spoon. This saves time, over dipping each ring separately into batter. Make sure all onion rings are coated with batter.
• Using a fork, drop one onion ring into fat to test temperature. Your onion ring should not cook too quickly or turn dark. If necessary, reduce temperature. You want your fried onion rings to puff up and turn golden brown, not overcook. If they over cook they will taste bitter.
• When fat is ready, gently drop onion rings into pot or place in fryer basket and lower into fryer.
• When onions rings are golden, using a slotted spoon lift into a metal strainer to drain. If using a fryer, simply lift the basket and allow your onion rings to drain.

FRIED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Cut onion into 1/2 inch slices; separate into rings.
• In a bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cayenne.
• Combine the egg and buttermilk; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
• In an electric skillet or deep-fat fryer, heat 1 inch of oil to 375°.
• Dip onion rings into batter.
• Fry a few at a time for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels (keep warm in a 300° oven).

DEEP-FRIED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine buttermilk and baking soda; season well with salt and pepper. Peel onions and slice thinly, no thicker than 1/4-inch; a mandoline works well. Add to buttermilk mixture and stir well to submerge all onions. Set aside, unrefrigerated, for 2 hours.
• In a deep-fryer or heavy, deep pot, heat at least 1 quart oil to 375 degrees F. Working in batches, place about 1/6 of flour in a large bowl. With your hands, remove about 1/6 of onions from buttermilk. Don't let the liquid run off. Add to flour and mix vigorously with your hands until onions are well-coated. Separate them by hand and lay them in a deep-fry basket. Lower into hot oil, maintaining temperature. Stir every 2 minutes. When onions are golden brown and crisp, about 6 minutes, drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Keep warm in a 200 degree F oven while you finish the rest.

FRIED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the buttermilk with the hot sauce and 2 teaspoons of Essence. Add the onion rings and press to coat. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• In a medium pot, heat the oil to 360 degrees F.
• In a shallow bowl or large dish, combine the flour with 2 tablespoons of the Essence. Dredge the onions in the seasoned flour, coating each ring evenly. Shake off any excess flour and carefully place the rings in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, turning to cook evenly and prevent sticking, about 3 minutes per batch. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season the fried onion rings with Essence, and repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Serve hot.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Use a fork to steady your onion. Slice the onion into rings about 1cm wide. Remove the skin and separate the rings.
• Heat the oil to 180C in a heavy-based pan - it should be no more than 1/ 3 full.
• Meanwhile put the flour and sparkling water in a bowl and season generously. Whisk together to form a batter.
• Coat a small batch of onion rings in batter. Carefully lower into the hot oil and deep-fry until crisp and golden, about 2 - 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a piece of kitchen towel to drain. Repeat with the remaining onion and batter.

FRIED ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Cut onions crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices and separate slices into rings, reserving small inner rings for another use if desired.
• Stir together buttermilk, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl, then gently stir in onion rings. Let stand, turning occasionally, 10 minutes. Drain in a colander.
• Whisk together flour, remaining 2 teaspoons salt, and remaining teaspoon pepper in a wide shallow bowl. Dredge onion rings a few at a time in flour, shaking off excess, and arrange in 1 layer on wax-paper-lined trays. Let onions stand 15 minutes (for batter to set).
• Preheat oven to 200°F.
• Melt enough shortening in a deep 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet to measure about 1 inch and heat over moderately high heat until it registers 360°F on thermometer. Fry onion rings in batches of 4 to 6, without crowding, turning over once or twice, until golden, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer as cooked to paper towels to drain, then transfer to 1 or 2 large baking sheets (overlap rings slightly if necessary) and keep warm in oven while frying remaining batches. (Return oil to 360°F between batches.) Serve immediately.
