Onion Rings

Method

Preparation and Cooking

  1. 1

    Slice the Onions

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Batter

    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add water to create a smooth batter.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep pot or fryer, 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, allowing excess to drip off before placing it in the hot oil.

  5. 5

    Fry the Onion Rings

    Fry the onion rings in batches for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the onion rings hot with a side of ranch dressing for dipping.
