Onion Rings
Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4 inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Gradually add the cold water, whisking until the batter is smooth and has a thick consistency.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Coat and Fry the Onion Rings
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated. Carefully drop the battered rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Drain and Serve
Once the onion rings are golden, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce.
