Onion Rings

Method

Onion Rings

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

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

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. Gradually stir in the cold water until you get a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

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

  4. 4

    Coat the Onion Rings

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess batter to drip off.

  5. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

  6. 6

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the onion rings with a slotted spoon and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot.

Dipping Sauce

  1. 7

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, ketchup, hot sauce, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the dipping sauce alongside the crispy onion rings.
