[Edit]Ingredients

• 1/3 pint milk (155ml)
• 2-3 eggs, cracked
• Seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, paprika etc.)
• Flour
• Medium or large onion (possibly multiple depending how many you're making)
• Vegetable oil

[Edit]Steps

1. Place some aluminum foil on your counter close to your stove and put two large mixing bowls on top. Meanwhile, put some paper towels onto a plate, or bowl. This will be used to drain the cooked onion rings.
   
2. Fill one of the bowls about halfway to two thirds full with milk. Add the eggs and some of the seasonings. Mix ingredients well.
   
   
3. Fill the other bowl with flour and the remaining seasonings, then mix.
   
   
4. Cut medium or large onion into rings, according to how many onion rings you want, and place them to the side.
   
   
5. Put fresh vegetable oil in a large frying pan around half an inch deep. Use moderate heat.
   
6. Dip one of the onion slices that you set aside into the milk, and then into the flour. Repeat until it the slice is thoroughly covered in the batter (about 3 times). Carefully lower the slice into the pan. Use a fork or metal tongs to get the slices into the pan.
   
   
7. Repeat the above dipping process until there is no more room in the frying pan.
   
   
8. When the onion rings are golden brown, carefully turn them over. Watch out; the oil is hot. Once both sides are golden brown , remove them from the pan and place them onto the paper towel- covered plate or bowl.
   
   
9. Continue to make onion rings, repeating steps six through eight. Note: because the oil is already hot, it'll take a lot less time to cook the next batch, so keep an eye on them so they don't burn.
   
   
10. Don't forget to turn off the stove after cooking. Be careful of how you dispose of the oil; it's the best to let it cool down before getting rid of it.
    
11. Your onion rings are ready to serve. Enjoy!
    
    • Note: If you have one, you can use a deep-fryer to cook the above; the oil will drain better.

[Edit]Tips

• You can cook smaller slices inside the larger ones to save time.
• If you didn't use a deep fryer, place a piece of tissue on a plate and let the tissue soak in excess oil, then onto serving plate.
• Be careful when your cutting the onions to avoid cutting yourself. Be careful while putting them in and taking them out of the hot oil. You can seriously burn yourself if you are not using proper utensils to handle the onions.
• Use one hand for dipping the slices into the milk, and your other hand to dredge the slices into the flour; your fingers will stay a lot cleaner.
• You can also use the frying process above using chicken strips and chicken fried steak.
• Onion rings are a great side dish for hamburgers!
• Try them with ketchup, barbecue sauce or ranch dressing.
• Never take your eye off the cooking onions.

[Edit]Warnings

• Oil pops, and may cause small amounts to get on your skin. Step away from the stove if this happens, and lower the flame underneath the frying pan.
• Be careful when you're working with oil; if it's too hot it can catch fire. That is why using a moderate flame under the frying pan is suggested. Hot oil can also leave some very painful burns if it gets on your skin.
