Park Slope Recipes from Tiny New York Kitchen: Victoria's Onion Rings

Sometimes you need to indulge, and onion rings are a great treat to satisfy your taste buds.

Victoria's Onion Rings

I allow myself the treat of eating onion rings about once a year. They are so naughty, but so good. Here is a great basic onion ring recipe. I made them with grilled burgers this evening.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 3/4 Cup Unbleached Flour
  • 2/3 Cup Milk
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 4 Sliced Medium Yellow or White Onions
  • 1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • Deep Fryer or Large Skillet Filled With Vegetable Oil

To make the batter combine the flour, milk, egg and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in

a medium size bowl. Whisk the batter until it is nice and smooth.

In a large skillet or deep fryer heat the oil to 375° F. Slice the onions into 1/4-inch thick slices and separate into rings. Using tongs or a fork, dip the onion rings into the batter. Drain off the excess batter. Fry the onion rings in the hot oil for 3 minutes. Be careful to fry only a few at a time so that you do not crowd the pan. You will want the onion rings to be golden brown. Stir once with a fork to make sure the rings stay separate.

Remove the onion rings from the oil make sure to drain on a paper towel. Transfer to a serving platter and salt with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Serves 6 people.

Once a year? It's not crack. Why are people so afraid of the food police. Everything. In. Moderation. That said, the recipe sounds good. Buttermilk works equally well.

Right you are Parksloper! We shouldn't be afraid of the food police. Everything in monderation. Perhaps I'll but it up to twice a year. :)
Buttermilk does work equally well. Thanks for your comment and have a great Labor Day Weekend!

Being that it is an election year, if you and other registered voters scream loudly enough, someoneRead More will hear you. This sounds like a job for the 7 On Your Side, or NY1 who may be able to reach NYCDOT and Higher Ranking officials at the 78th PCT to respond to your complaint and do something.
