French-Fried Onions

• 

  2 medium yellow onions sliced into very thin rounds (2)

  1 cup 1% milk (250 mL)

  1 cup all-purpose flour (250 mL)

  1/4 tsp salt (1 mL)

  4 cups canola oil (1 L)

• 
  1. In a shallow dish, add onions and cover with milk. Soak for 5 minutes. 
  2. In a heavy bottomed pot over medium-high heat, add canola oil. Using a thermometer, heat oil to 375℉ (190℃).
  3. In a large bowl, add flour. Strain onions. Using a pair of sturdy tongs, transfer 1/4 of the onions to the flour  and toss until well coated.
  4.  Before transferring onions to the hot oil, shake off any excess flour.
  5.  Cook in oil for 60-90 seconds, until onions are evenly and lightly browned. 
  6. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle generously with salt while hot.
  7. Repeat process until all onions are fried.
