Baked Onion Rings

To go with dinner last night, my sister and I made baked onion rings, which are the result of a variety of onion ring recipes my sister has made at while at college.  They took about twenty minutes to make and then twenty minutes to bake.  After attempting to dip the battered onion rings in bread crumbs and having half the batter fall off, we ended up sprinkling the bread crumbs on top of them, which turned out to be a success.  The resulting onion rings were good (although not quite the same as deep-fried), but they cooled down fairly quickly.  We also learned that they take less time to eat than they do to make!

Baked Onion Rings

Prep Time: 20 minutes        Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients: 1 sweet onion; ½ cup flour; 1 egg; 1/3 cup milk; ½ tsp salt; ¾ cup bread crumbs

Directions: Heat oven to 450°F.  Cut onion into 1 cm - ½ inch rings, separate, and put in bowl of water to soak.  Mix flour, egg, milk, and salt together in a bowl.  Dip each ring of onion into the batter and place on sprayed pan.  Sprinkle bread crumbs on top of onion rings.  Bake in oven for ten minutes.  Flip onion rings over and then cook for another ten minutes.  They cool down quickly, so serve immediately!
