Onion Rings Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Onions

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

2. 2

   Make the Batter

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

3. 3

   Add Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk. Mix well. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. The batter should be thick but pourable.

4. 4

   Coat the Onion Rings

   Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off before moving to the next step.

5. 5

   Prepare Breadcrumbs

   Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. After coating the onion rings with batter, dredge each ring in breadcrumbs until fully covered.

6. 6

   Heat the Oil

   In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). You can check the temperature with a thermometer or by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float.

7. 7

   Fry the Onion Rings

   Carefully place a few onion rings in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning occasionally.

8. 8

   Drain and Serve

   Once the onion rings are golden brown, remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
