Baked Onion Rings – Same great flavor but no frying. This will be hit with your family.
The first known recipe for onion rings appears in a British cookbook written by a chef named John Mollard called The Art of Cookery, Made Easy and Refined. It was published in England in 1802. Surprisingly, Mollard’s early onion rings weren’t all that different from the fried snack we enjoy today! His recipe for “fried onions,” as he called them, involved dipping half-inch-thick onion slices in batter, frying them in lard, and serving them with a side of mustard-spiked melted butter.
