Old Fashioned Onion Rings
May 20th, 2010
The name “onion ring” is truly deceptive. It makes you feel like you’re simply eating a little sliver of onion and not much else. Definitely not the case. Last night for the Lakers game, I surprised my boyfriend with a batch of old fashioned onion rings (recipe here). I had never fried anything before and promptly changed into an outfit that more closely resembled a bee keeper since I imagined hot oil splashing all over my arms (again, not the case). They made for a fun and indulgent appetizer and had I been able to stop myself from eating so many, I’d make them again for the next game.

delicious!
Mmmmm those look so good! I’m now starving
You are so brave! I am afraid of frying, so I always just stick stuff in the oven and hope it tastes relatively similar.
So, funny story. I saw this onion ring post and immediately printed the recipe – I was ready to give it a whirl for my husband.
Well, I wish I could post photos with my comment – last night ended in a call to 911 and a major grease fire in our kitchen. I have a photo of all the onion ring ingredients on my counter but blackened melted cabinets and a black ceiling all around. It was quite the night all in the name of some homemade onion rings.
We’re all safe (my husband, me and two dogs) and we learned a valuable lesson when working with oil/grease in the kitchen – if it gets too hot it WILL ignite and when it does – grab flour, baking soda or a wet rag to smoother the fire. Whatever you do… DO NOT POUR WATER ON IT.
So.. that’s my onion ring comment and as for posting a recipe for the Kitchen Aid mixer… how about this British PSA (recommended by the Fire Department) as a Recipe to AVOID Disaster. Its one I hope nobody ever has to use but its sure one that i WISH i had seen before last night. Does that count for the contest?

I made these today, and they did not look as well as those!
But they tasted good! By the way, they took me about 3 hours to make…
Hi – i stumbled upon your website and i wanted to thank you for the recipe – i never eat onion rings – i just heard about them on tv. I can’t wait to see how they taste.
