Onion Rings
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into thick rings, about 1/2 inch thick. Separate the rings and set aside.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually whisk in the cold water until the batter is smooth and thick.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C).
- 4
Coat the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess to drip off.
- 5
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully add the battered onion rings to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- 6
Drain and Serve
Remove the onion rings from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.
