Ingredients
- 5 lb Yellow Onion
- 1 ½ Cups Water
- 1 ½ Cups Whole Milk
- 1 tablespoon Crisco, melted
- 3 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 ½ tablespoon Sugar
Instructions
- Peel Onions and Cut them into wedges, separating the layers.
- In a large mixing bowl or plastic bag cover the onions with a half a cup of flour.
- Mix remaining ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
- Preheat vegetable oil in a deep fryer set to 375°f.
- Dip the wedges in the batter and fry until golden brown.
- Place the fried onion chips on a paper towel-lined cookie sheet and serve with Tastees and Onion Chp Dip.
Notes
- Be sure to have a slotted cooling rack on top of a cookie sheet beside where you are frying your onion chips. The grease can drain as you pull them out, ensuring they stay crispy.
- There is no salt in the batter. This was intentional so they could be salted to taste just before serving.
- Don't skip the flouring of the onions. This helps bind the batter to the onions.
