Bacon Onion Rings

Me and my sister was bored so we just decided to create a snack

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 3 -4  cups  vegetable oil
• 1  large  vidalia onion (try to pick one that is long, not wide)
• 1  cup  whole milk
• 2  tablespoons bacon drippings
• 3  bacon, strips finely minced
• 1  cup all-purpose flour
• 1  teaspoon baking powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika

Directions

1. Preheat oil in a pot, over medium heat.
2. Peel and slice whole onion to create rings. Peel off the little, clear membrane that is in between the onion rings.
3. In a medium mixing bowl whisk milk, bacon drippings, flour, baking powder, paprika and salt together until smooth.
4. Crumble crispy bacon strips and then mince them as finely as possible with a knife. Add minced bacon bits into the batter and mix until evenly incorporated.
5. Dip a few onion rings into the batter, covering it completely, and gently add them to the heated oil, once at a time. Cook onion rings in batches until deep golden. You will want to cook over medium heat that way batter doesn't get dark too fast, leaving you with a raw onion inside. Cooking it on medium heat for a longer period of time will cook the onion inside.
