Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large yellow or sweet onions
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 piece egg
- 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel and cut the onions into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate the layers into individual rings and set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, cayenne powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined.
Place the panko breadcrumbs into a third bowl.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or frying pan over medium-high heat to 350°F (175°C). Always monitor the heat to avoid burning the oil.
Dredge each onion ring in the flour mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly. Shake off any excess.
Dip the floured onion ring into the milk and egg mixture, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated.
Place the dipped onion ring into the panko crumbs and press gently to adhere the crumbs to all surfaces. Repeat with all onion rings.
Carefully lower a few coated onion rings into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried onion rings using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining onion rings.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
