Ingredients:
- 1 large sweet or yellow onion (thickly sliced into 1/2-inch thick rings)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 Tbsp white vinegar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 Tbsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Oil for frying (I used canola oil – use something with a high smoke point)
Instruction:
- Once the oil is at 375˚F on a thermometer, or hot enough for the onion rings to sizzle, place 3-4 double battered onion rings in a single layer in the hot oil and cook for about 3 minutes, flipping halfway and fry until exterior is crisp and light golden brown. Let onion rings cool on paper towels so soak up any excess oil.

FAQ
How do you get batter to stick to onion rings?
Why do you soak onions in ice water before making onion rings?
Soaking onions in water for 15-20 minutes helps to neutralize the flavors of the onion and lessen the “bite”. It also brings out a sweet flavor and makes them a bit crunchier.
Which onion makes the best onion rings?
Do you use red or brown onions for onion rings?
Any onion will do, but remember that the variety you use will affect the overall flavor. A sweet onion will produce sweet and mild results, while red onions will produce more potent results.
