Ingredients
Scale
Onions
- 2 medium sweet onions (sliced into rings)
- Cornstarch (enough to dust sliced onions)
Batter
- ⅓ cup cornstarch
- 1 ½ cups gluten free flour blend
- ¼ cup cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup milk (of your choice, see Notes)
- 1 cup club soda
For Frying
- Neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola oil) for frying
Instructions
- Prepare Onions: If not already done, slice the onions into rings about ¼ inch thick. Lightly dust the sliced onion rings with cornstarch to help the batter adhere better, then set them aside.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ⅓ cup cornstarch, gluten free flour blend, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
- Make Batter: Whisk the milk and club soda into the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth and slightly thick but still drippy enough to coat the onion rings evenly.
- Heat Oil: In a large saucepan or deep skillet, heat the neutral oil to 350° Fahrenheit (175° Celsius), suitable for frying.
- Batter the Onions: Using a fork, dip each onion ring into the batter, coating it thoroughly. Allow any excess batter to drip back into the bowl before frying.
- Fry Onion Rings: Carefully drop the battered onion rings into the hot oil. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking until they turn golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Drain and Cool: Remove the fried onion rings with a fork and transfer them to a wire cooling rack set over a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil and keep crispy.
- Serve: Repeat the process for the remaining onion rings. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces or condiments.
Notes
- You can use dairy or non-dairy milk depending on your preference or dietary needs.
- Make sure the oil temperature stays around 350° F to ensure crispy, not greasy, onion rings.
- Use a wire rack over paper towels for best results in draining oil without soggy bottoms.
- These onion rings are best eaten fresh but can be reheated in an air fryer or oven to regain crispiness.
