Method

Preparation

1

Slice the Onions

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

2

Prepare the Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well. In another bowl, beat the egg and then add the milk. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.

Coating the Onion Rings

3

Coat the Onion Rings

Dunk each onion ring into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated. Then, roll the battered rings in breadcrumbs until evenly coated. If using, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the coated onion rings.

Frying

4

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).

5

Fry the Onion Rings

Carefully place a few coated onion rings in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Use a slotted spoon to remove the rings and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.

6

Repeat

Repeat the frying process with the remaining onion rings, allowing the oil to return to temperature between batches.

Serving

7

Serve Hot

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