Onion Rings Ingredients

Method

Onion Rings Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the beer or sparkling water until the batter is smooth and lump-free.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil.

  5. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Fry the onion rings in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
