Onion rings |
ingredients
- 350ml/12fl oz plain flour
- 4 tablespoons cornmeal
- 4 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 350ml/12fl oz milk
- 1 large egg
- 8 large onions
- vegetable oil for deep-frying
Serves 4-6
- Combine the flour, cornmeal, onion powder, salt, milk, egg and 125ml/4fl oz water in a large bowl. Stir well until there are no lumps and the batter is smooth.
- Slice the onions across to make rings about 1cm/1⁄2in thick.
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan until hot. Test to see whether the oil is hot enough by dropping a little of the batter into the oil – it should sizzle straight away.
- Dip the separated rings into the batter. Drop the coated rings into the oil and fry until golden brown. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Remove the onion rings with a slotted spoon, and drain on kitchen paper. Serve hot.
