Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large onion, sliced into 1/2-inch rings
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cold beer (lager) or cold sparkling water for non-alcoholic option
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dip onion rings into the batter, turning to coat evenly.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to 375°F (190°C).
- Fry rings in batches 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
- Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, and season with a pinch of salt. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Keep batter thick enough to cling to the rings; refrigerate batter for 10 minutes if too thin.
- Maintain oil at 375°F for even frying and crisp crust.
- For extra crunch, dust rings with a touch of baking powder before frying.
