Ingredients
- 2 pieces large onions (preferably sweet onions like Vidalia)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup milk
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the onions and slice them into thin rings, approximately 1/8-inch thick. Separate the rings and set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper until well combined.
Step 3
Gradually add the milk to the dry ingredients while whisking continuously to form a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the onion rings.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (180°C). Make sure there is enough oil to completely submerge the onion rings.
Step 5
Dip each onion ring into the batter, letting any excess drip off, then gently place it into the hot oil. Be careful not to overcrowd the pot; fry the rings in batches if necessary.
Step 6
Fry the onion rings for 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the crisps and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 7
Repeat the process with the remaining onion rings.
Step 8
Sprinkle a little extra salt over the crisps while they're still hot, if desired, and serve immediately as a snack or topping for burgers, salads, or casseroles.
