Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large yellow onions
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1.25 cups beer (cold, lager or ale)
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. Separate each ring and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper.
Slowly pour in the beer while whisking to create a smooth batter. Ensure there are no lumps. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish for coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pot or fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Using a fork or tongs, dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off.
Transfer the battered onion ring to the panko breadcrumbs and press gently to coat evenly on all sides.
Carefully lower the coated onion rings into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Fry each batch for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the onion rings and transfer them onto a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Continue with the remaining onion rings until all are fried.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, aioli, or spicy ketchup.
