Instructions

1. Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
2. Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside.
3. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
4. Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside.
5. Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork.
6. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping. The wire rack may be placed over a sheet of aluminum foil for easier clean up.
7. Spread the breadcrumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat. Give it a hard tap as you remove it from the crumbs. The coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.
8. Deep fry the rings a few at a time for 2 to 3 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Remove to paper towels to drain.
10. Season with seasoning salt, and serve.
