MAKING CRISPY ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, cornstarch, dry potato flakes, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in club soda to make a smooth batter.
• Place panko bread crumbs in a shallow bowl.
• Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place a few onion rings at a time into the bowl of batter and turn to coat all sides with batter.
• Remove onion rings from batter and place into pan of panko bread crumbs; turn to coat completely with crumbs.
• Cook a few rings at a time in the hot oil until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer to a cooling rack set over paper towels to drain. Season with salt to taste and serve.

CRISPY ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Put the onions in a large bowl and cover with milk. Let soak for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using a fine-sieve over a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, chili powder, and cumin, if using. Stir in the beer until a smooth batter is formed. Set aside.
• Drain the onions and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Blot the onions with paper towels until dry.
• In a large, wide heavy-bottomed pot, pour in the oil to a depth of about 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat to 400 degrees F. (The oil must be heated to 400 degrees F. since the temperature drops oil to about 375 degrees F. when the onions are added.)
• Working in batches, transfer about 8 to 10 of the onions to the batter and mix to coat well. Using tongs, pull several of the onions out of the batter, and let any excess batter fall back into the bowl. Carefully add to the oil and fry, flipping once, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 1/2 minutes per batch. Using the tongs, transfer to a dry paper towel-lined baking sheet to drain. Sprinkle with salt to taste. Repeat with the remaining onions. Serve immediately.

ONION RINGS IN BEER AND VODKA BATTER

Steps:

• First, peel the onions, cut them into 1/2-inch slices, and separate them into rings. Put them into a freezer for 1 hour in a zipper-lock bag.
• Then, thaw the onion rings with tepid running water. Drain thoroughly on paper towels or kitchen cloth. Remove the membrane from each ring and set aside.
• In a large bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and paprika. In another bowl, mix beer and vodka.
• Now, slowly pour in the beer and vodka mixture into the flour mixture, stirring constantly. Adjust the amount of liquid, so the density of the batter resembles a thick paint.
• Heat the oil to 375˚F in a large wok or a Dutch oven.
• Meanwhile, dip the onion rings into the batter, let the excess batter drip off, and gently place the onions into the hot oil.
• Fry the rings for 2 minutes, then turn them over and fry for 2 more minutes.
• Drain the onion rings on paper towels, season with salt, and serve.

CRUNCHY ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Peel the onions and cut them into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Separate the slices into rings.
• Combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl, dip the onion rings, so they are fully coated, and set them aside.
• Add milk and eggs to the flour mixture and combine well, until the mixture is smooth.
• Dip the onion rings in batter and leave them to drain on a wire rack.
• Put the bread crumbs on a shallow plate. Coat the onion rings with bread crumbs.
• Heat the oil to 365˚F (185˚C) in a deep-fryer. Fry the rings for 2 to 3 minutes, so they become crunchy and golden brown.
• Drain on paper towels, season with salt, and serve.

KITTENCAL'S BEST CRISPY ONION RINGS

Steps:

• Heat the oil to about 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl whisk together buttermilk and eggs.
• In a bowl mix together the coating mixture, then place into a shallow dish (a shallow dish makes for easier coating of the rings).
• Dip/coat the onion rings into the buttermilk mixture.
• Then coat generously into the dry coating mixture.
• Fry briefly in hot oil (turning once) until onion rings are lightly brown on both sides.
• Delicious!

SUPER CRISPY ONION RINGS

Steps:

• In a very large pot (or deep fryer), heat the oil to 365°.
• In a bowl, whisk the flour with the cornstarch, baking soda and 2 teaspoons of salt.
• Add 2 1/2 cups of the club soda and whisk until smooth; the batter should be thick but pourable. If needed, add the remaining 1/2 cup of club soda, a few tablespoons at a time.
• Working with 6 or 7 onion rings at a time, dip them in the batter until completely coated; as you pull the rings from the batter, scrape some of the excess against the side of the bowl.
• Carefully add the onion rings to the hot oil and fry until golden and crisp, about 2 minutes.
• Drain the onion rings on paper towels.
• Sprinkle the onion rings with salt and serve immediately or keep warm in an oven on low heat while you coat and fry the rest. Enjoy!
