Ingredients
- Vegetable oil
- for frying
- Milk
- 1 cup
- Egg
- 1, beaten
- Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Paprika
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Cornstarch
- 1/2 cup
- All-purpose flour
- 1 cup
- Yellow onions
- 2 large, sliced into rings
- Dipping sauce (optional)
- to taste
- Ranch dressing
- 1 cup (for dipping)
- Spicy ketchup
- 1 cup (for dipping)
- Tangy aioli
- 1 cup (for dipping)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, paprika, and garlic powder until well combined. This dry mix will create a flavorful and crispy coating.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk until fully blended.
- Dip each onion slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it is thoroughly coated, then dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing gently to help the batter adhere to the onion.
- In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 375°F (190°C). Use enough oil to submerge the onion rings completely for an even fry.
- Carefully fry the onion rings in small batches for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn a lovely golden brown and achieve that crunchy texture. Avoid overcrowding the pot to ensure they fry evenly.
- Once fried, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the crispy onion rings hot, accompanied by your choice of dipping sauces such as ranch dressing, spicy ketchup, or a tangy aioli.
Tips
- For an extra kick, try adding cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.
- You can also experiment with different types of onions; sweet Vidalia onions work exceptionally well!
- If you're looking for a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
