Empanada Onion (Onion Rings)

Directions

• Peel the onions and cut them into slices approximately 1 cm thick. Separate the slices into individual rings.
• In a shallow bowl, mix the wheat flour with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
• In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
• Dredge each onion ring in the flour, ensuring it is completely coated.
• Then dip the onion ring into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely covered.
• Finally, dip the onion ring in breadcrumbs, covering it completely. Press lightly to ensure the breadcrumbs stick well.
• In a deep pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches a temperature of around 180°C.
• Carefully place the breaded onion rings into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
• Fry the breaded onion rings for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.
• Remove the breaded onion rings from the pan and place them on a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
• Serve the breaded onion rings while still hot, accompanied by your favorite sauces, such as mayonnaise, ketchup or barbecue sauce.
