Mastering crispy onion rings: A delicious homemade guide
Onion rings are a snack loved by everyone—adults and children. They are a great alternative to crisps, are simple to prepare, crispy, and delicious. Discover a recipe that will win your heart.
The key to successful onion rings is using the right ingredients. While shopping, pay attention to the freshness and quality of the products. White or yellow onions, which have the perfect texture for frying, work best. The choice of the right tools, such as a thick-bottomed pan or a thermometer to measure the oil temperature, can significantly impact the final result.
To achieve the perfect crispiness, creating the right breading mixture is crucial. It's worth experimenting with the addition of Parmesan or your favourite spices, which will enrich the flavour of the snack. During the preparation process, maintaining the proper oil temperature is also important to ensure that the rings are evenly fried.
Onion rings - step by step
Start by slicing the onions into rings about 1 cm thick and separate them to form even rings. Then prepare three bowls: one with a mixture of flour, baking powder, and spices, another with egg and milk, and a third with breadcrumbs.
Dip each onion ring first in the flour, then in the egg batter, and finally in the breadcrumbs. This double breading gives them exceptional crispiness. Fry the rings in heated oil at a temperature of 180°C until they turn golden. After frying, drain them on a paper towel.
Serve homemade onion rings with your favourite sauces, such as garlic, mayonnaise, or ketchup. They're a perfect snack for any occasion – from gatherings with friends to film nights.
