In the 1960's there was a small drive inn on London Road. On Saturday nights the parking lot was so crowded they had to hire a cop to keep traffic flowing. One of the reasons for the crowds was the onion rings and green pepper rings they sold. Read more . If the gritty texture of commercial onion ring batter puts you off, this recipe is for you. The elegance is in its simplicity. Great for fish, too! Ingredients:
4 eggs |
6 or so ounces milk |
2 cups flour or so |
seasoned salt to taste |
Directions:
1. Crack 4 eggs into a measuring cup. Read the level and add that much milk. (4 eggs should be about 4 ounces. If so add 4 ounces of milk.)
2. Whisk the eggs and milk in a mixing bowl. Whisk in flour a little at a time. Stop when the consistency is like pancake batter that's a bit too thin. Dredge a ring through it. The batter is just right if a thick coat stays on the ring after a couple blobs dribble off.
3. Heat one to two inches of oil in a large dutch oven to 375 degrees.
4. Dip onion rings and green pepper rings in batter and put a few at a time into the oil. Maintain the oil temperature by not overloading with rings. If the oil cools the rings will come out oily.
5. Cook about two minutes, until golden brown. Remove the second they look brown enough.
6. Drain on paper towel. Shake on seasoned salt to taste.
