Ingredients
-
3 large Vidalia onions, cut into 1/4-inch slices, and separated into rings
-
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
-
2 cups milk
-
1 ½ cups yellow cornmeal
-
2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 tablespoon white sugar
-
1 tablespoon salt
-
2 teaspoons paprika
-
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or more to taste
-
½ teaspoon dried thyme
-
¼ teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper
-
1 quart oil for deep frying
Directions
-
Line 2 baking sheets with waxed paper; set aside. Line 2 additional baking sheets or 1 tray with paper towels; set aside.
-
Place 1 1/2 cups of flour in a shallow bowl. Pour the milk into a second shallow bowl. In a third bowl, stir together the cornmeal, 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, and black pepper.
-
Dip the onion rings first into the plain flour, then into the milk, and last into the cornmeal mixture. Place the breaded rings on the wax paper-lined baking sheets.
-
Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat, or deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
-
Fry the onion rings a few at a time in the hot oil so they are not crowded, until golden brown. Drain on paper towel-lined baking sheets, and serve immediately.
