Fantastic Onion Ring Batter

Ingredients

• 2 large onions, cut into rings
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Soak onion rings in a bowl of ice water for 1 hour; drain and pat dry with paper towels.

Whisk 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, milk, egg, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and salt together in a bowl until smooth.

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Dip onion rings in the batter, working in batches, until evenly coated and arrange in 1 layer on a plate.

Fry the battered onion rings, working in batches, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer fried onion rings to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.
