Instructions for Onion Rings

  1. 1

    Prepare the onions

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

  2. 2

    Make the batter

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth.

  3. 3

    Coat the onions

    Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Then, coat each ring in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the oil

    In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot (about 350°F or 175°C).

  5. 5

    Fry the onion rings

    Carefully place the coated onion rings in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Drain and serve

    Remove the fried onion rings from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
