Ingredients

• 2 Large sweet onions
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 Egg
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Club soda
• 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the onions and cut them into 1/4 to 1/2-inch thick slices. Separate the slices into individual rings, discarding the small inner cores. Set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and club soda until well blended. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, whisking constantly to create a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat a spoon but still pourable.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Use a thermometer to maintain an accurate frying temperature.

Step 5

Dip each onion ring into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off before carefully lowering the onion ring into the hot oil.

Step 6

Fry the onion rings in small batches for 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if necessary to maintain the oil temperature.

Step 7

Using a slotted spoon or tongs, remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess grease.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the remaining onion rings.

Step 9

Serve the onion rings immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, ketchup, or aioli.
