Fried onion rings are a delicious snack or side dish that's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This recipe uses sparkling water to create a light and airy batter, complemented by the sweetness of red onions. Whether you're preparing for a family gathering or just craving a tasty treat, these fried onion rings are sure to be a hit.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a medium bowl, combine the 3/4 cup of all-purpose white wheat flour and 1 tsp of baking powder.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup of sparkling water until the mixture forms a smooth and slightly thick batter. Set aside to rest.
- Peel the 2 red onions and cut them into 1/4-inch thick rings. Separate the rings and set them aside.
- In a deep frying pan or deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). Make sure there's enough oil to submerge the onion rings, about 2 inches deep.
- Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before frying.
- Carefully place the coated onion rings into the hot oil, a few at a time, to avoid overcrowding. Fry them for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through to ensure even frying.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Sprinkle salt over the hot onion rings to taste.
- Serve the fried onion rings immediately while they are hot and crispy. They make a great appetizer or side dish.
Tips:
- Ensure the sparkling water is cold to help create a lighter batter.
- Slice the onions evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- Dry the onion slices thoroughly before dipping them in the batter to ensure the batter sticks well.
- Fry in small batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can lower the oil temperature and result in soggy onion rings.
- Drain the fried onion rings on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil and maintain crispiness.
- For added flavor, consider adding spices like garlic powder, paprika, or black pepper to the batter.
Enjoy your perfectly fried onion rings as a standalone snack or a tasty side dish to your favorite meal. The combination of the light, crispy batter and the sweet, tender onions will leave you and your guests craving for more. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
