Categories     condiment

Time 1h20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 large onions
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 scant tablespoon salt
Plenty of black pepper
1/4 to 1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Canola oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Begin by peeling the onions and slicing very thinly, use a mandoline slicer if you can. Separate the onion slices and place them in a shallow baking dish and pour the buttermilk over the top. Press the onions down so they're submerged as much as possible and let them soak on the counter for at least an hour. If necessary, stir them around a bit halfway through the soaking process.
  • In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper and cayenne, and set aside.
  • Pour 1 to 2 quarts canola oil in a pot or Dutch oven. Heat to 375 degrees F, or until a pinch of flour sizzles when sprinkled over the pot.
  • Using tongs, remove a handful of onions from the buttermilk and immediately dunk into the flour mixture. Coat the onions in the flour mixture, and then tap them on the inside of the bowl to shake off the excess.
  • Plunge the onions in the hot oil. With a spoon, fiddle with them a bit just to break them up, and watch them! They'll be ready to remove from the oil in no time flat.
  • When they're golden brown (this should take just a minute or two), remove them from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Repeat with the remaining onion slices and serve immediately.
  • Pile these on top of a juicy grilled hamburger - to die for!

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Onion

Time 18m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large onion, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup milk, or as needed
¾ cup dry bread crumbs
seasoned salt to taste
1 quart oil for frying, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).
  • Separate the onion slices into rings, and set aside. In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Dip the onion slices into the flour mixture until they are all coated; set aside. Whisk the egg and milk into the flour mixture using a fork. Dip the floured rings into the batter to coat, then place on a wire rack to drain until the batter stops dripping. The wire rack may be placed over a sheet of aluminum foil for easier clean up. Spread the bread crumbs out on a plate or shallow dish. Place rings one at a time into the crumbs, and scoop the crumbs up over the ring to coat. Give it a hard tap as you remove it from the crumbs. The coating should cling very well. Repeat with remaining rings.

MARTHA'S FAVORITE ONION RINGS



Martha's Favorite Onion Rings image

This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Vegetables" (Clarkson Potter). Thinly layered, slightly spicy yellow onions are used to make the light, crisp rings at Balthazar in New York City. (This recipe is adapted from the restaurant's cookbook, and it is Martha's hands-down favorite.) Beer flavors the batter and adds body, thanks to the bubbles. Baking powder, a leavening agent, helps to enlarge these bubbles as the batter fries.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon coarse salt, plus more for sprinkling
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup beer, preferably lager or pilsner
2 tablespoons ice water
Peanut oil, for frying
2 medium yellow onions, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick slices, separated into rings

Steps:

  • Whisk together 1 cup flour, the salt, white pepper, and baking powder in a bowl. Whisk in beer and ice water until combined. Place remaining cup flour in a shallow dish.
  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees, with a baking sheet on middle rack. Heat 3 inches of oil to 375 degrees in a medium pot over medium high. Dredge onions in flour, turning to coat; tap off excess. Working in batches (about 8 at a time), dip onions in batter, shaking off excess. Carefully add to hot oil. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with salt. Transfer to baking sheet to keep warm while cooking remaining onions. Adjust heat as necessary to keep oil at a steady temperature. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Yellow or white onions are the best choice for onion rings, as they hold their shape well during frying.
  • Cut the onions evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the onions evenly and prevent them from tearing.
  • Soak the onion rings in milk or buttermilk: This will help them stay moist and tender during frying.
  • Coat the onion rings in a seasoned breading: This will give them a crispy coating and help them stay together during frying.
  • Fry the onion rings in hot oil: This will help them cook quickly and evenly.
  • Drain the onion rings on paper towels: This will help remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Onion rings are a delicious and versatile appetizer or side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make onion rings at home that are just as good as (if not better than) the ones you get at a restaurant. So next time you're looking for a tasty treat, give these onion rings a try. You won't be disappointed!
