Spur Onion Rings Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 large onions (yellow or white preferred)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch (for extra crunch)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 cup sparkling water or soda water (for extra crispiness)
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Onions: Peel the onions & cut into thick rings (like 1/2 inch thick). Separate the rings and set them aside.
- Make the Batter: In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and paprika. Add stirring until you have a smooth batter which you like. It should be thick enough to coat the rings but not too dense.
- Heat the Oil: Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan or pot to around 350°F (175°C). Ensure there is enough oil to fully submerge the onion rings.
- Coat the Onion Rings: Dip each onion ring into the batter, making sure it’s evenly coated. Let any excess batter drip off.
- Fry the Onion Rings: Carefully place the battered onion rings into the hot oil in small batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the fried onion rings from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Optionally, sprinkle with a bit more salt.
- Serve: You serve crispy onion rings hot with your favorite sauces like ranch barbecue or spicy mayo.
