Fried Onion Rings
Ingredients:
2 large Spanish or sweet onions
2 c. buttermilk
2 Tbsp. hot sauce
1½ c. all-purpose flour
½ c. cornstarch
1 tsp. salt, plus extra for cooked rings
¼ tsp. black pepper
½ tsp. baking powder
Canola or peanut oil
Method:
Peel and cut onions into slices, about ¼ to ½ inch thick. Separate the slices
into rings. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and hot sauce. In
another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, salt, pepper and baking
powder. Combine the wet and dry ingredients together. (If batter is too thick
add a little water to thin.)
Using a Calphalon Deep Fryer, add oil to maximum fill line in bowl. Preheat
the oil to 375 degrees F.
Dip each ring into batter and then shake off extra batter. Place several
onion rings into the Calphalon Deep Fryer basket and carefully lower it into
the preheated oil. Cook onions about 1½ to 2 minutes, or until the rings
are golden brown. Use metal tongs to turn the rings during the cooking
process. Carefully lift the basket out of oil and lock it onto resting hooks.
Allow onions to drain and then transfer them to a wire rack with a pan
underneath. Repeat the process with the remaining onions.
Sprinkle the rings with salt and serve.
