Onion Rings
*Like my recipe for Fried Chicken, this recipe is NOT grain-free. Yep, I did it again. Every once in a while, I "cheat" with my carbs and satisfy a craving to keep myself sane. And these are the best darn onion rings I've ever eaten.
2 cups oil (palm, lard, organic shortening, etc)
1/2 cup sorghum or brown rice flour
1/4 cup potato starch
1/4 cup tapioca flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
2 tsp baking powder
dash cayenne pepper (optional)
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk (almond, coconut, soy, cow)
1 large yellow onion, sliced into 1/2-inch rings, separate each layer
1. In a large dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat until 350 degrees. Line a plate or baking sheet with paper towel and set aside.
2. In a shallow dish, whisk together sorghum or brown rice flour, potato starch, tapioca flour, salt, pepper, paprika, baking powder and cayenne pepper (if using). In a large bowl, whisk eggs and milk. Add onion and toss into egg mixture to coat.
3. In small batches, lightly coat the onion rings into the flour mixture, then gently place into the hot oil. Cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Remove and allow to dry on paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all of the onion rings have been breaded and fried. Serve.
