Batter

Onion Rings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well mixed. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and then stir in the milk. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until smooth.

Breading

  1. 3

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off before proceeding to the next step.

  2. 4

    Bread the Rings

    After coating with batter, dip the onion rings into the bread crumbs, covering them completely. Press gently to ensure the crumbs stick.

Frying

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  2. 6

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place a few onion rings in the hot oil, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.

  3. 7

    Drain and Cool

    Once golden brown, remove the onion rings from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with remaining rings.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve Hot

    Serve the crispy onion rings hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as ranch or ketchup.
