Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Red onions
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Club soda
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the red onions and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Mix in the club soda gradually until the batter is smooth.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
Dip each onion ring first into the flour mixture, shaking off excess flour, then into the egg and club soda batter ensuring they are well coated.
Carefully place the coated rings in the hot oil, frying a few at a time to avoid overcrowding, until golden brown and crispy, about 2 to 3 minutes per batch.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately while hot and crispy, with your favorite dipping sauce.
