Onion Rings Ingredients

Method

Onion Rings Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

  3. 3

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is well coated. Then, dredge it in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

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

  5. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully drop the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried onion rings with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
