Old-Fashioned Onion Rings

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon double-acting baking powder 
• 0.8 cup breadcrumbs dry
• 1  eggs 
• 1.3 cups flour all-purpose
• 1 quart cooking oil for frying or as needed
• 1 large onion cut into 1/4-inch slices
• 1 teaspoon salt 
• 3 servings lawry's seasoned salt to taste

Equipment

• bowl
• paper towels
• whisk
• wire rack
• aluminum foil

Directions

1. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
2. Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
3. Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside.
4. 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.
5. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish.
6. 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.
7. Deep fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with seasoning salt, and serve.
