Onion Rings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Batter

    In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Mix the Batter

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

  5. 5

    Prepare Breadcrumbs

    Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish for coating the onion rings.

Frying

  1. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 7

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Then, coat the ring in breadcrumbs.

  3. 8

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches, frying until they are golden brown (about 2-4 minutes).

  4. 9

    Drain the Onion Rings

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serving

  1. 10

    Serve Hot

    Serve the crispy onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or marinara.
