Batter

Onion Rings

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

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

Batter Preparation

  1. 2

    Mix the Batter

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

  2. 3

    Add Water

    Gradually add cold water to the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and well combined. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.

Frying

  1. 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). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

  2. 5

    Coat the Onion Rings

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

  3. 6

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil, cooking them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 2-4 minutes per side.

  4. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the onion rings from the oil and drain them on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
