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