Onion Rings
- Canola oil, for frying
- ½ cup self-rising flour
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 large Vidalia or other sweet onion, cut into ½-inch-thick slices and separated into rings
- Fill a large cast-iron Dutch oven halfway with oil, and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350°.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, paprika, salt, and pepper; whisk in milk and egg until smooth. In a shallow dish, place bread crumbs. Dip onion rings in milk mixture, letting excess drip off. Dredge in bread crumbs, pressing to adhere. Place on a wire rack.
- Working in batches (do not overcrowd pot), fry onion rings, turning occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. (Adjust heat as necessary to maintain 350°.) Remove using a slotted spatula, and let drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.
