For the Onion Rings

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Prepare the Onions

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

2

Make the Batter

In a bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until smooth.

3

Coat the Onion Rings

Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the rings with breadcrumbs.

4

Fry the Onion Rings

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry the onion rings in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5

Serve with Sauce

Serve the hot onion rings immediately with Jefferson’s special sauce on the side.
