Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Large yellow onions
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 cups Breadcrumbs
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, salt, garlic powder, paprika, sugar, and baking powder. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Gradually add the water to the dry mixture, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. The batter should have the consistency of pancake batter.
Pour the breadcrumbs into a separate shallow dish or bowl.
Dip each onion ring into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumbs. Place the breaded onion rings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a rack.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 375°F (190°C). Ensure the oil is deep enough to submerge the onion rings fully.
Carefully lower a few onion rings into the hot oil, being mindful not to overcrowd the pot or fryer. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the fried onion rings to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process until all the onion rings are cooked.
Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ketchup or ranch dressing. Enjoy!
