Onion Rings Ingredients

Method

Onion Rings Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Peel the onions and slice them into thick rings, about 1/2 inch thick. Carefully separate the rings and set them aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the milk. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.

  3. 3

    Bread the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Then, coat the ring in the coarse bread crumbs, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep fryer or large pot, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place a few breaded onion rings into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
