How to make Onion Rings – learn it all here

Learn how to make onion rings with our easy recipe, you’ll be snacking in no time. Because nothing beats the homemade stuff…

Onion rings are quite easy to make and even if you might not get them perfect the first time they will still beat the local burger place, so get going. For this batch, I first tossed the rings in flour and then coated them in a mixture of eggs, flour, beer and a bit of baking soda. Before deep frying them I dipped in Asian bread crumbs, also known as Panko. You can find it in all Asian stores and usually in bigger supermarkets.

Don’t forget to add a bit of salt and pepper into the flour to give the rings a better flavor. You will salt them after frying but a lot of that salt tends to fall off.

I usually serve a dipping sauce for deep fried food but onion rings a moister than french fries so I don’t think it’s necessary but if you prefer a dip then go ahead. The recipe here was enough to make two big servings as a side, so adjust the recipe depending on how much you plan to make.

Onion rings

2-3 yellow onions
2,4 dl / 1 cup flour
1 egg
2,4 dl / 1 cup beer
1 tsp baking soda
a pinch of salt
pepper
oil for frying
Flour for the shaking of the onion
1 cup panko, Asian bread crumbs

Peel and slice the onion and separate the rings. Put them in a ziplock bag and add some flour and shake the bag to cover all the rings. Combine eggs, flour, beer, baking soda, salt and pepper. The thickness should be about the same as for pancakes.

Remove the rings from the bag and shake off the flour that is not stuck on the onion rings and then put them in the batter and cover them, lift the rings out of the batter and cover in the panko. Deep fry until golden, remove and let drip off on paper, salt the onion rings. Serve hot.
