Onion Rings
Method
Preparation
- 1
Slice the Onions
Peel the large onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
- 2
Prepare the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.
- 3
Add Water to Batter
Gradually mix in the cold water into the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.
Frying
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle and float immediately.

Batter the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before frying.

Drain and Serve
Once the onion rings are cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
