How to make Onion Rings

Onion Rings Recipe – Ingredients:

White onion sliced into rings (as many as you want to eat!)

1/2 cup milk

Few tablespoons plain flour

Teaspoon cayenne pepper

Vegetable oil for deep frying

How to make onion rings – Method:

1. Simply slice the onion into rings (it helps to cut first then peel off the skin after)
2. Once you have enough onion rings put into a bowl and add the milk; the milk does two things; gives some moisture to the rings so the flour sticks and helps reduce the acidity of the onions
3. In a separate bowl mix the flour and cayenne pepper together
4. Once your oil is hot enough (if in a saucepan have it on a medium/high heat). To test if the oil is ready, drop a tiny pinch of flour into the oil; if it sizzles immediately it’s ready; if not, wait for it to get a bit hotter. Once it is to temperature keep it on a medium/high heat/flame.
5. Take the onions out of the milk; give a little shake and put the rings into the flour. Dust well, shake off any excess flour and drop (carefully) into the oil – they should sizzle immediately.
6. Leave to cook for about 5-6 minutes or until they have turned a golden brown colour. Remove with a slotted spoon, rest on papertowl, season with salt and then enjoy!
