Make the world's best onion rings at home... you will never go out for rings again!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • White onions
  • Egg Beaters
  • Krusty's pancake mix
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Curry powder
  • Cayenne Pepper
  • Canola Oil or any light oil
  1. Step 1

    Determine how many onion rings you want to make and peel onion(s) and cut off top & bottom based on this quantity. Slice in 1/2 inch slices, parallel to top/bottom, keeping onions in ring shapes as they are sliced off. Separate pieces into individual rings. Set aside onions.

  2. Step 2

    Pour 2 to 3 inches of Egg Beaters into medium-sized bowl, refill as needed.

  3. Step 3

    Mix dry ingredients into deep pan or tray: 2 cups of Krusty's pancake mix, 2 tablespoons (each) of salt and pepper, 1 tablespoon of curry powder, 1 tablespoon of cayenne pepper. Spice more or less to taste. Make more dry mix as needed.

  4. Step 4

    Pour 1 inch of light oil into deep frying pan and heat on medium/medium high until a few drops of water sizzles. If oil begins to smoke, remove from heat for a minute or two and reduce heat.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange, from left to right: Onions, eggs, dry mix, frying pan of oil, plate with paper towels to catch extra oil.

  6. Step 6

    With left hand, pick up a few onion rings and drop in egg mix. With left hand, flip onion rings in egg until completely coated.

  7. Step 7

    With left hand, remove onion rings from egg mix and drop into dry mix without getting hand in dry mix.

  8. Step 8

    With right hand, toss additional dry mix on top of onion rings in dry mix bowl. Continue until completely coated.

  9. Step 9

    With right hand, remove onion rings from dry mix one at a time and drop in oil (when oil is correct temperature). Do not throw rings in, as oil will splash.

  10. Step 10

    With right hand, use fork to flip onion rings when bottom side has lightly browned.

  11. Step 11

    With right hand, use fork to remove onion rings when both sides are lightly browned. Place on plate with paper towels.

  12. Step 12

    Continue until you have made all the onion rings you can eat!

Tips & Warnings
  • Krusty's pancake mix and Egg Beaters make the best onion rings I have ever eaten/served.
  • Avoid battering your own hand and always use your left hand for wet mix and right hand for dry mix handling.
  • If the oil is smoking, remove from heat until it is hot enough to sizzle a few drops of water but not so hot the onion rings burn.
  • Do not throw onion rings into oil, as the hot oil will splatter.
  • Do not fill oil too high in the pan, as rings will cause oil to bubble up and possibly bubble over edges of pan.
  • Always use one hand for dry and one for wet mix, to avoid battering your hand.
