Ingredients
  • 2 cups sunflower oil, canola oil or avocado oil
  • 1 white onion, medium-large size
  • ½ cup corn flour
  • ½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour I use doves farm freee
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp cayenne
  • 1 egg
  • ⅔ cup milk use dairy-free if needed
Instructions
  1. Pour the oil into a medium size, heavy bottom pot.
  2. Turn the heat to medium and allow the oil to heat up while you prep. It should only be about 2 inches deep.
  3. Peel the onion and slice into thick rings, just over ½" wide. Separate all of the rings.
  4. In a medium-size bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: cornstarch, flour, baking powder, salt, and spices. Stir with a fork to mix evenly.
  5. Whisk the egg and milk into the dry ingredients. You should have a slightly thick batter.
  6. You can use a food thermometer to test the temperature of the oil. the temperature should be 360F/180C, or you could use the wooden spoon trick. Just dip the end of a wooden spoon handle into the oil. You’ll know it’s ready when the oil bubbles up around the spoon handle. If there are a lot of violent bubbles, though, your oil’s too hot, so lower the temperature and let it cool a little.
  7. One at a time, take an onion ring and dip it into the wet batter, using a fork to flip and ensure all sides are coated. Let any excess drip off before gently placing in the hot oil. Repeat with as many onion rings as will fit in the surface area of your pot. They should brown on the bottom within about 30 seconds. Once brown and bubbled on the bottom, gently flip the onion rings using a fork or tongs. Allow to cook for another 30 seconds to 1 minute until the entire onion ring is nice and golden. Use a strainer or spider skimmer to remove the onion rings to a plate lined with paper towel.
  8. Repeat with the rest of the onion rings in as many batches as necessary. If the wet batter starts to thicken too much, add a splash of milk to thin it out as needed.
  9. Once cooked serve with your favourite sauce.
