BEST ONION RING RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Soak onion rings in a bowl of ice water for 1 hour; drain and pat dry with paper towels.
• Whisk 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour, milk, egg, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and salt together in a bowl until smooth.
• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Dip onion rings in the batter, working in batches, until evenly coated and arrange in 1 layer on a plate.
• Fry the battered onion rings, working in batches, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer fried onion rings to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon.

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, granulated garlic, cayenne and 1 tablespoon each salt and black pepper in a large bowl until well blended. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, milk and beer.
• Dunk the onion rings in the beer mixture and then toss in the flour mixture to coat evenly. Shake off the excess flour and lay the rings on a baking sheet. Let sit for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, fill a heavy pot with 3 inches of vegetable oil and heat to 350 degrees F. Sift the flour mixture to remove any clumps.
• Dunk the onions a second time in the buttermilk and toss in the flour. Shake off any excess flour before dropping the rings into the hot oil. Fry until golden, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
