Deep Fried Onion Rings



Ingredients :

Onions                    -    250g
Plain flour                -    60g
Milk                        -    60ml
Vegetable oil            -    to deep fry
Sea salt / pepper      -    to taste

Method :
  • Peel the onions and cut across the onion into 2mm slices. Take extra care with cutting, as the onion will be round and may move as you cut across it. Hold it firmly on your board
  • Using your fingers, separated the sliced onion layers, hopefully leaving you with onion rings
  • Season the flour with salt and pepper, Place into a dish
  • Pour milk into another dish
  • Heat enough oil in a heavy-based saucepan to deep fry the onions
  • Pass the onion rings through the milk and into the seasoned flour. Shake off any excess flour and carefully lower into the hot oil. Fry for a few minutes until the onions are crispy and golden in colour. Don’t try to fry too many rings in one go
  • When crispy and golden, remove from the oil and drain on kitchen paper. Serve hot.
