Method

Onion Loaf Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Onions

    Slice the onions into thin rings and soak them in cold water for about 30 minutes to reduce bitterness.

  2. 2

    Make the Batter

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Gradually add water until the batter is smooth.

  3. 3

    Coat the Onions

    Drain the onion rings and coat them in the batter until fully covered.

  4. 4

    Fry the Onion Loaf

    Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully drop the coated onion rings into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
