Onion Rings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, beat the egg and add the milk, mixing well. Gradually combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients until a smooth batter forms.

  3. 3

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, roll the battered ring in breadcrumbs until well covered. Repeat this process for all onion rings.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small amount of batter; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, it’s ready.

  2. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully add the coated onion rings to the hot oil in batches. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  3. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once fried, remove the onion rings with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot as a side dish.
