Onion Rings

This is the easiest batter for onion rings. Similar to my batter for fish, although this has a wee bit of spice added to it. I used purple onions only because I still have a partial bushel of these onions left and I’m trying to use them up.

Onion Rings

Course Deep Fried

Ingredients

• 2 Spanish onions
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1/3 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/3 teaspoon Hungarian paprika
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ cup ice water

Instructions

1. Heat cooking oil in the deep fryer to 375°F.
2. Slice onions into desired thickness then toss with ¼ cup cornstarch or flour. This helps batter stick to the onions better.
3. Mix together all dry ingredients, mix in ice water until a pancake consistency is reached.
4. Dip a few onion rings in batter and drop carefully into hot oil one at a time.
5. Remove when golden brown, and drain on paper towel.
6. Sprinkle with salt if needed.
