Bread the onions
Working in batches, dip each onion ring into the wet batter and coat completely. Lift the rings out of the batter with a your fingers or fork and allow excess to drip back into the bowl. Roll the battered rings in the bread crumbs, making sure they are completely coated. If needed, press the bread crumbs on the rings with your fingers to help the crumbs adhere. Place the coated onion rings on 2 June Air Baskets, staggering them to help them brown evenly. Repeat until all the onion rings are coated.
