How to Make this Aros De Cebolla Crujientes Caseros Recipe

1. Start by taking the onions and removing their skins. Slice the bulbs into rings that are about a quarter of an inch thick. Separate the rings and put them to the side.

2. In a bowl, blend the flour, baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt together evenly.

3. In a different bowl, whisk the egg and combine it with the milk.

4. Vegetable oil should be heated in a deep fryer or a heavy pot to 350°F (175°C).

5. Ensure that each onion ring is well-coated by dipping it into the flour mixture.

6. Then, plunge the rings, which have been dusted in flour, into the milk and egg blend, letting the superfluous mix drip off.

7. Cover the rings with breadcrumbs, pressing them firmly to ensure they stick well.

8. As soon as the oil reaches the desired temperature, gently lower a small number of onion rings into the oil. Do not put in too many at once.

9. Cook the onion rings for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Fry them in the oil and prepare to devour the crispiest, crunchiest onion rings of your life.

10. Discard the rings from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Season the warm onion rings with extra salt and, if desired, additional black pepper.

Pro Tips

1. Chill the Onions Before slicing the onions into rings, chill them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This can help reduce tearing and also make the rings more firm and easier to handle during coating.

2. Double Coating For an extra crispy texture, try a double coating method. After the initial breadcrumb coating, you can repeat the process: dip the ring back into the milk and egg mixture, then again into the breadcrumbs. This creates a thicker, crunchier crust.

3. Breadcrumb Variety Use a mix of panko and regular breadcrumbs for a unique texture. Panko breadcrumbs add an additional layer of crunch to the onion rings.

4. Season the Coating Enhance the flavor by adding seasoning to the breadcrumb mixture. Consider including garlic powder, paprika, or cayenne pepper for a slight kick in your coating.

5. Maintain Oil Temperature Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the oil temperature. If the oil gets too cool, the onion rings will absorb more oil and become greasy. Keep it steady at 350°F (175°C) for the best results.
