Batter

Onion Rings

Dipping Sauce (optional)

Method

Preparation of Ingredients

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Gradually add the cold beer or sparkling water, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Frying the Onion Rings

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). You can test if the oil is ready by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and rise to the surface.

  2. 4

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off before placing it into the hot oil.

  3. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Fry the onion rings in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  4. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried onion rings and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Season with salt to taste while they are still hot.

Making the Dipping Sauce

  1. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, and lemon juice until well combined.

  2. 8

    Serve with Onion Rings

    Serve the dipping sauce alongside the crispy onion rings for an added flavor kick.
