Onion Rings

Since McDonald's doesn't sell onion
rings, these crunchy, golden hoops from the world's number two restaurant chain
the most popular onion rings in the world. There's more than 11,400 Burger
Kings in 58 countries these days, and after french fries, onion rings are the second-most popular
companion to the chain's signature Whopper sandwich. Check out how simple it is
to clone a whopping 4 dozen onion rings from one onion, using this
triple-breading process. When frying, vegetable shortening makes for the best
clone, but you can get by fine using vegetable oil if that's the way you want
to go.
6 to 10 cups vegetable
shortening (or vegetable oil)
1 medium white onion
2 cups milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups Progresso plain bread
crumbs
salt
1. In a fryer, heat up
2. Cut the onion into
1/4-inch thick slices, then separate the slices into
rings.
3. Pour the milk into a large
shallow bowl, dump flour into another large shallow bowl and pour bread crumbs
into a third large shallow bowl. The large shallow bowls will make breading
easier. Easy is good.
4. While the shortening is
heating up, bread all of the onion rings: First dip an onion ring into the
milk, then into the flour. Dip it back into the milk, then into the bread
crumbs; and once more into the milk and into the bread crumbs. This will give
each of the rings a nice thick breading. Arrange the breaded rings on a plate
until all of them are breaded.
5. When the oil is hot, fry
the rings, a handful at a time, in the oil for 1 1/2 to 3 minutes or until
golden brown. Remove rings from the oil to a rack or paper towels to drain.
Lightly salt the onion rings and serve 'em up hot.
