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
- Preheat oil in a pot, over medium heat.
- Peel and slice whole onion to create rings. Peel off the little, clear membrane that is in between the onion rings.
- In a medium mixing bowl whisk milk, bacon drippings, flour, baking powder, paprika and salt together until smooth.
- 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.
- 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.
