Crispy Onion Rings

By Reneeb

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons instant mashed potatoes
• big pinch of cayenne
• 1 cup cold club soda
• 2-3 cups Panko (Japanese-style breadcrumbs), or as needed
• fine salt to taste
• vegetable oil for frying
• 2-3 yellow onions, cut into 1/4-inch rings

Preparation

Step 1

Heat your oil to 350 degrees over medium high heat.

Mix flour, corn starch, potatoes, and cayenne together in a medium bowl. Add the club soda and let sit for about ten minutes.

Meanwhile pour the breadcrumbs in a shallow place and cut the onions into 1/4 inch rings.

Dip the onions in the wet batter and then coat them in breadcrumbs. Repeat until all onions are coated.

Dip onions in batches into the hot oil. Fry for approximately 60-90 seconds per side. Be careful not to overcrowd the oil as this will make the rings less crispy.
