Onion Rings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

    Peel the large onions and slice them into 0.5-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well. Gradually add cold water while whisking until you achieve a smooth batter consistency.

Frying

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  2. 4

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.

  3. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

  4. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once fried, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
