Where there's no Sonic...

You make onion rings from scratch.
I'm not sure it's worth all the trouble. Last night at around midnight, I had a crazy craving for onion rings. So, today I set out to make them. I didn't have a clue what I was doing. I had to make everything from scratch including the bread crumbs needed.

As you can see by the two burnt ones, I'm not very good at frying things. I think the oil was too hot. Also, they sort of look like doughnuts. However, the ones I didn't burn were really good. I paid a fortune for Heinz ketchup and enjoyed them. Here's the recipe if you're interested:

Ingredients:
1 large onion, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup milk, or as needed
3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
seasoned salt to taste
1 quart oil for frying, or as needed

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. 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. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. 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.
4.
Deep fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove to paper towels to drain. Season with seasoning salt, and serve
