Crunchy Baked Gluten Free Onion Rings

Ingredients:

• 1 medium to large yellow onions
• Ice cold water
• 1/2 cup buttermilk (optional)
• 1/2 cup Carla's Gluten Free All-Purpose Flour Blend Recipe
• 2/3 teaspoon gluten free baking powder (Rumford's or Featherweight for corn free)
• 1/8 teaspoon black ground pepper, or to taste
• 1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1 large egg
• 1 egg white
• 1/2 cups finely ground Seasoned Gluten Free Breadcrumbs
• Gluten free olive oil cooking spray

Instructions:

1. Position an oven rack in the middle of your oven; and preheat to 425°F. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray or other gluten free cooking spray.
2. Cut off both ends of each onion, peel off any soft or green skin, and slice into 1/2-inch-thick rings. Reserve the smaller onion rings for another use.
3. Separate the rings and place in a large bowl. Pour in the buttermilk, if using; and cover with iced cold water.
4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and pepper in a shallow dish. Sifting them together ensures even distribution of the baking powder; but it is not mandatory.
5. In a separate shallow dish, whisk the egg and egg white.
6. Place the breadcrumbs in yet another separate, shallow dish.
7. Working one at a time, remove an onion rings from the buttermilk/water and allow any excess liquid to drip away. Dredge the wet onion ring into the flour. Shake off any excess flour. Dip into the beaten egg and allow any excess egg to drip back into the dish. Dredge in the breadcrumb mixture and shake off any excess breadcrumbs. Transfer to the prepared pan.
8. Bake about 9 minutes, turn them over, and bake for about 9 more minutes. Serve warm.
