Light Crisp almost oil free. The kind of onion rings that just shatter with a paper thin batter an onion that’s cooked though so it doesn’t pull out.
I fried the onion rings in canola oil at around 350 degrees. I used a medium large sweet onion.
I didn’t measure the batter…..I usually don’t measure for many things I make but stop and do it for these forking recipes sometimes……. I’m guessing it was around……
1/2 cup rice flour
1/4 cup corn starch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 beaten egg
less than 1/2 can sugar free root beer soda. (didn’t have any beer or seltzer in the house or I would have used beer or seltzer I knew I needed something with bubbles but didn’t want to open a forking bottle of champagne) The soda has a salt taste to me so I didn’t add salt to the batter.
Fresh ground sea salt and ground pepper for finishing
The batter should be very thin.
I just fried them till they were lightly brown. My husband said, they were the best forking onion rings he ever had. (*NOTE, see forking note) Neither of use tasted root beer in the onion rings. The onion rings just tasted forking great! We both thought these were the best FORKING onion rings we ever had…..and were laughing about it. For some unknown reason they really were that forking good.
*NOTE* he would not say that to be nice…he is not that forking type. I sure got a bunch of forking stories I can insert here….
Forking Great Onion Rings
Used the leftover batter on some fish.
I liked the texture very much and it was better than LOTS of fish I had out. It was tasty, airy and had that really awesome shattering crunch. The texture was great. I didn’t think I tasted root beer but I did taste something that I wasn’t perfect with the fish. Next time when doing fish I would run out for beer, seltzer or use a lemon lime soda. I only forking put this batter on the fish because it was leftover and the onion rings were so forking delicious. I would totally made the fish this way again just with a different liquid in the recipe.
OK fish and forking great onion rings.
GREAT Onion Rings and that’s The Forking Truth
