0:43
cayenne pepper going in we're going to
0:44
go one more for him today there you
0:47
there we go okay let's go ahead and give
0:49
this a whisk you know what I forgot salt
0:52
I got my half a teaspoon here but I'm
0:54
only going to put about half of that in
0:55
there we don't want to overs
0:57
salt yeah that's good enough we're going
1:00
to add one cup of milk to this and then
1:02
we're just going to whisk this together
1:03
as we're pouring in the milk this is
1:05
going to be a thick batter cuz you want
1:07
it to hold onto that
1:10
onion we're using a cast iron Dutch oven
1:14
I've got my husband putting in about 2
1:16
in of oil put it on a medium high 350
1:21
let that start heating up take your
1:23
onion and you want to just cut off your
1:25
ends peel off that outer
1:28
layer we're using these white onions
1:31
here and they're about a medium size is
1:33
I'm going to cut one inch
1:38
rings so I can get about five slices on
1:41
these onions and then what you want to
1:44
do pop them out so we're just going to
1:45
lay these out like that I'm going to do
1:47
about four onions got my onions all done
1:50
leave yourself a little bit of milk out
1:53
that's just to thin your batter out what
1:54
you want to do is just take a little bit
1:56
of your batter put it in your oil now as
1:59
you can see is sizzling really good in
2:01
there and that's what we're looking for
2:03
I'm just going to take my rings place
2:05
them all into the batter you can put in
2:06
as many as you want take a fork cover
2:09
them up in the batter then I'm just
2:10
going to pull them out tap it a little
2:13
bit get some of that excess batter off
2:14
I'm going to lay it on a plate that way
2:16
these all cook at the same
2:19
[Music]
2:21
time okay so we got some tongs here that
2:23
he's going to use to place these into
2:25
the oil oil starts looking like a
2:27
volcano you can spring it down a little
2:31
bit now what we're looking for is a nice
2:33
golden brown on the bottom sides of
2:36
these once we get to that we're going to
2:38
flip them
2:39
over get them nice and brown like right
2:42
there look at that one right there look
2:44
how pretty what you want to have ready
2:46
before you even put your onion rings in
2:48
is a plate with some paper towels on
2:49
them because what we're going to do is
2:51
drain these on the paper towels we're
2:53
going to sprinkle some salt on them what
2:55
