Onion Rings Recipe

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

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well.

Gradually add the cold water to the flour mixture, whisking until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings without dripping off.

In a deep pan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to fully submerge the onion rings.

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

Fry the onion rings in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally for even cooking.

Using a slotted spoon, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Enjoy!

Serve the crispy onion rings hot with your choice of dipping sauces like ketchup, ranch dressing, or hot sauce.
