Recipe: Homemade Onion Rings {Crispy Delicious & Deep Fried Good!}

Summary: Onion rings are one of my favourite burger sides! Along with my beautiful deep fried pickles. We are going to use some very similar ideas to make these amazing homemade, onion rings. Yeah you can get those pre made ones in the supermarket but they are nothing like the real thing. Gorgeously soft, creamy onion inner and crisp delicious outer. Done right they are not greasy! Just amazing and tasty! I can’t really tell you how many onions you’ll need, it really depends on how big the onion is and how thick you like the cuts. We have an electric deep fryer with solid vegetable oil and it is really handy but if you are going to use a pot of oil, check out these safety tips.

Ingredients 

• Onions, thickly sliced
• Oil for frying

For the Batter

• 1 cup plain flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Instructions 

1. Preheat oil to 190 degrees.
2. Combine all batter ingredients and stir until smooth, let sit at least 5 minutes.
3. Separate the rings out. You want the bigger rings, save the small bits for anther dish.
4. Dip each ring in the batter and then gently lift it out with a chopstick or fondue fork and drain any excess back into the bowl.
5. Gently transfer to the fryer and fry in small batches for 3-4 minutes or until brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels and enjoy!
