Onion Rings Recipe

Onion Rings Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Onions

   Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Batter

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

3. 3

   Add Wet Ingredients

   In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter should be smooth and thick.

4. 4

   Prepare the Breadcrumbs

   Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish, ready for coating the onion rings.

5. 5

   Heat the Oil

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

6. 6

   Coat the Onion Rings

   Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing excess batter to drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumbs. Ensure each ring is evenly coated.

7. 7

   Fry the Onion Rings

   Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan.

8. 8

   Drain and Serve

   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.
