Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

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

Batter Mixing

  1. 2

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.

  2. 3

    Add Water

    Gradually add the water to the dry ingredients while whisking until you achieve a smooth batter without lumps.

Coating

  1. 4

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, making sure it is evenly coated. Then, roll the batter-coated onion ring in breadcrumbs until fully covered. Place the coated rings on a plate.

Frying

  1. 5

    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).

  2. 6

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully add a few coated onion rings to the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 7

    Drain and Cool

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining rings.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve Hot

    Serve the onion rings hot with your choice of dipping sauce, such as ranch or ketchup.
