Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the Spanish onions and slice them into thick rings, about 1/2 inch wide. Separate the rings and set aside.
- 2
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Gradually add water to the dry ingredients and mix until you have a smooth batter.
- 3
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).
- 4
Coat the Onions
Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring they are well-coated. Let any excess batter drip off.
- 5
Fry the Onion Rings
Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
