Battered Onion Strings + Jalapeños Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Peel the onions and slice them into thin rings. Remove the stems and seeds from the jalapeños, then slice them into thin rings as well.

2. 2

   Make the Batter

   In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Gradually whisk in the cold water until the batter is smooth and has a thick consistency.

3. 3

   Heat the Oil

   In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

4. 4

   Coat the Vegetables

   Dip the onion rings and jalapeño slices into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

5. 5

   Fry the Vegetables

   Carefully drop the battered onion strings and jalapeños into the hot oil in batches. Fry until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried onion strings and jalapeños from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Season with additional salt if desired, and serve hot.
