has anyone tried using whole wheat flour instead of white or whole wheat panko bread crumbs?

really beautiful blog and beautiful photos-i love onion rings. in our home, we make a Pakistani speciality which we have with tea, as a snack- ‘onion pakoras’- drenching the onion in chickpea batter with spices like cumin and crushed red chili pepper- then frying it. i love your version, too.

Very jealous right now! I have long dreamed of having the space to grow a crop of onions and put them up for storage through the winter. I love the healthier take on onion rings as well!

Hi, Elizabeth, and welcome! Thanks for the comment. I’ll do my best to put together a post on food photography tips…bear with me if it takes few weeks though as my schedule is quite hectic in the springtime with getting the garden going.

I am new to your blog having just discovered it over the weekend. All of your recipes look and sound fabulous, but your photos are equally appealing. It would be nice, if you had the time, to post tips on photographing food. I would love to learn to improve my meager photography skills for fun, and if I could do it using my culinary endeavors it would be very rewarding.
Thanks for the site!

I think that I will try this recipe. I am from the South, and we think
we know a GOOD onion ring. They look like something that I would
enjoy.

I *love* these onion rings. Tonight was the second time we made them. I have some tips:

1. When breading, use one hand to batter the onions, place in breading, and then use the other hand to cover with breading. I lost a lot of batter the first time because any excess batter on my hands would get coated in breading and then it wasn’t good for anything.
2. I used baking dishes the second time around instead of a cookie sheet. My cookie sheets warp and so the frying was uneven.
3. Do not substitute mayo for the egg. I thought I could and the breading just fell right off. At least now I know

Thanks again for an awesome recipe!
