Onion Rings Recipe

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk together until well mixed.

Add Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until you achieve a smooth batter. Let it rest for about 15 minutes.

Slice the Onions

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

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). You can check the temperature using a thermometer or by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.

Coat the Onion Rings

Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated, and allow any excess batter to drip off.

Fry the Onion Rings

Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil in batches. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Drain and Serve

Once cooked, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately while hot.
