Onion Rings Recipe with Dipping Sauce

 

Onion Rings:

Ingredients:

• 2 large onions, cut into 1/2-inch rings
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oil: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, deep pan to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare the onions: Peel and slice the onions into 1/2-inch rings. Separate the rings.

3. Prepare the batter: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Pour the buttermilk into another bowl.

4. Coat the onion rings: Dip each onion ring into the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then dip it into the buttermilk and back into the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour.

5. Fry the onion rings: Carefully place the coated onion rings into the preheated oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes per side). Remove with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

6. Season and keep warm: While the onion rings are still hot, sprinkle them with a bit more salt. Keep them warm in an oven set to low heat while you finish frying the remaining batches.

Dipping Sauce:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons ketchup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Mix the sauce: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated.

2. Adjust seasoning: Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings according to your preference. You can add more mustard for tanginess or more garlic powder for extra flavor.

3. Serve: Serve the crispy onion rings hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
