Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Vegetable oil for frying
cup Unsifted all-purpose flour
½ cup Cornstarch
4 teaspoons Sugar
1 teaspoon Ground red pepper
1 cup Water
2 larges Eggs, lightly beaten
1 large Sweet onion, sliced into 1/4-inch-thick rings
¼ teaspoon Salt

Directions

1. In large skillet, heat ¼ inch oil until deep-fat thermometer registers 375F.

2. Meanwhile, in medium-size bowl, combine 1 C flour, the cornstarch sugar, and red pepper. Stir in water and eggs until batter is just combined.

3. Place remaining ¼ C flour in wide mouthed bowl or pie plate. In batches, coat onion slices with flour then dip coated onion rings into batter and place into hot oil. Fry onion rings until crispy and golden on one side; turn and fry until golden on other side-about 6 minutes in all.

4. Drain cooked rings on paper towels and keep warm until ready to serve. Season onion rings with salt.
