Fried Onion Rings
Method
Fried Onion Rings
- 1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 0.5-inch thick rings. Separate the rings from each other and set them aside.
- 2
Soak in Buttermilk
Place the onion rings in a bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Allow them to soak for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and flavor the onions.
- 3
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
- 4
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or fryer, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.
- 5
Coat the Onion Rings
Remove the onion rings from the buttermilk and allow the excess to drip off. Dredge each ring in the flour mixture, making sure to coat them evenly.
- 6
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the coated onion rings in the hot oil, a few at a time to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through.
