French Fried Onions
This recipe guides you through creating classic French fried onions at home. Sweet Vidalia onions are sliced into rings, coated in a light batter, and fried until golden and crisp. The process is straightforward, requiring basic pantry ingredients and taking about 20 minutes from start to finish. The finished onions are perfect for adding a crunchy topping to various dishes or enjoying as a savoury snack.
Ingredients
- vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 3 large vidalia onions
Method
- Cut the onions into rings approximately 1/4 inch thick and pull them apart.
- Preheat your oven to 300. Pour oil into a fryer to a depth of about one inch and heat it to 375 degrees. Whisk together all the listed ingredients except the onions until you have a smooth batter. Coat each onion ring in the batter, letting any extra drip back into the bowl. Cook a small batch of rings in the hot oil for around 2 minutes, flipping them once, until they turn a golden brown colour, then drain them. Place the fried onions on cookie sheets and keep them warm in the preheated oven.
