Mom's Spectacular Onion Rings

You will love these onion rings. They are easy to prepare and taste just as delicious as any restaurant style onion rings.

Ingredients:

1 large onion, cut into ¼ inch slices
1¼ cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 egg
1 cup milk
¾ cup panko bread crumbs
1 quart oil for frying
salt for seasoning

Directions:

Heat oil to 350 degrees F.
Separate the ¼ inch slices of onion into separate rings.
In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Coat onion rings in the dry mixture completely and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine egg and milk and whisk until completely combined.
Dip the flour-coated onion rings into egg-milk mixture and place on a wire rack to let excess egg-milk mixture drain.
While onion rings drain, pour Panko bread crumbs into a shallow dish. Dip egg-milk coated onion rings into Panko bread crumbs until completely coated. Spoon crumbs over the top to cover as necessary.
Place in hot oil and cook 1 to 1½ minutes on each side until it reaches a nice golden brown color. Flip them over to cook the other side.
Place on a paper towel to let any excess oil drain off. Sprinkle each onion ring with a little salt.
Enjoy!
