Method
Preparation
- 1
Slice the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
Batter Preparation
- 2
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk until well combined.
- 3
Add Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and the egg. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Coating and Frying
- 4
Prepare the Breadcrumbs
Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish for easy coating.
- 5
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 6
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are well coated.
- 7
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the coated onion rings in the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- 8
Drain the Rings
Remove the fried onion rings with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
