Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large yellow or sweet onions
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 piece egg
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups plain breadcrumbs
- 4 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel the onions and cut them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
In another bowl, whisk the egg and milk together to make the wet batter.
Set up a breading station: Place the flour mixture in one shallow dish, the wet batter in another, and the breadcrumbs in a third dish.
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil maintains the correct temperature.
Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then the wet batter, and finally dredge it in the breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs gently onto the onion rings to help them adhere.
Carefully place the breaded onion rings into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden and crisp, flipping once if needed.
Remove the onion rings with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
