Crunchy deep-fried onion rings with a zesty Southern cornmeal breading.
Ingredients:
  • 3 large Vidalia onions, cut into 1/4-inch slices, and separated into rings
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1.5 cups yellow cornmeal
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.25 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
  • 1 quart oil for deep frying
Instructions:
  • Prepare 2 baking sheets lined with waxed paper and set them aside. Also, prepare 2 more baking sheets or 1 tray lined with paper towels and set them aside.
  • Pour 1 1/2 cups of flour into a shallow bowl. Pour milk into another shallow bowl. Combine cornmeal, 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, and black pepper in a third bowl.
  • Coat the onion rings in plain flour, dip them in milk, and then coat them in the cornmeal mixture. Arrange the breaded rings on baking sheets lined with wax paper.
  • Heat the oil in a big, sturdy skillet over medium-high heat or in a deep-fryer until it reaches 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
  • Fry the onion rings in batches in the hot oil until golden brown, ensuring they are not crowded. Place them on paper towel-lined baking sheets to drain, then serve immediately.
