Old Fashioned Onion Rings Recipe

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.
