Onion Rings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/2 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk to combine. Gradually add cold water, mixing until you achieve a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Breadcrumbs

    Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish for easy coating during the breading process.

Breading and Frying

  1. 4

    Coat the Onion Rings

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

  2. 5

    Bread the Onion Rings

    Press the batter-coated onion ring into the breadcrumbs to fully coat. Place the breaded onion rings on a plate and repeat the process with all the onion rings.

  3. 6

    Heat the Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  4. 7

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully add a few breaded onion rings to the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  5. 8

    Serve

    Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
