I'm going to share with you three tips to make perfect fried onion rings every time
I might share with you a couple up other little tips along the way
you're in Steve's kitchen now let's get on and make fried onion rings
Now into a mixing bowl I'm just going to but a cup and a half of plain or
all-purpose flour
and I'm going to be making a Beer batter here you could use
a different liquid I've got a 330ml bottle of a
great Australian beer and I've measured that out it's a cup
and three quarters you could use lemonade you could use fizzy water
whatever really whichever you prefer I really like a beer batter
you see that's going to froth up and aerate the batter and nicely
just going to use a whisk now and bring this up to a nice
thick batter and as that starts to come together
I'm going to add a couple teaspoons of paprika
and this is a tip it really makes crispy batter it is not one of the main tips
but
2 teaspoons of sugar that will make your batter lovely and crisp
I've got one teaspoon of garlic powder and a couple teaspoons of salt
we continue to whisk this together
now seasoning is very important I'm going to be putting a little black pepper
in here
Tip number one taste your batter
if your batter tastes bland
it ain't gonna taste any better when you fry it, so make sure you've got
all the seasoning just right. So we set the batter aside
and prepare our onions.
Tip number two and no it doesn't matter whether you use red, brown
or white onions they're all absolutely delicious. Don't cut your onions
so thin, if we use skinny little onion rings like this you going to end up with
just batter and no flavour.
Cut the onion rings about a one centimeter or half an inch wide
it'll make wonderful onion rings and you can take the outer skin of
after you've cut them it's so very simple and then what you going to have is these
wonderful thick onion rings trust me they are going to taste delicious
and when you slice the Rings take a little bit a flour in another bowl
pop the onion rings in there and just give them a little light dusting
that will just absorb some of the moisture off your onion rings before we fry them
tongs are really great when you making onion rings two sets of tongs
are fantastic one set for handling in the batter one set for handling in the fryer
look you'll see what I mean as we go along. So here are my onion rings
coated in flour, my batter here, I'm going to drop them into the batter
now you can use your fingers you are going to get messy
by using tongs we can coat those onion rings in the batter
and then we can lift them up let them drain just a little bit
which leads me to Tip number three make sure your oil is hot 190 degrees Celsius
or 375 fahrenheit if it's too hot
they'll burn, if it's too cold they'll just get all soggy
and when the oil is the perfect temperature we can just lift those onion rings and
if you've got the tongs you can just drop them in, a few seconds hold them
and then just drop them let go just take a second one in there
just hold it by holding them with the Tongs and just letting them in
slowly, they start to crisp up and they won't all stick together
now using my second pair of tongs I'm going to let these cook for one and a half minutes
I'm going to flip them over and cook them for another one and a 1/2 minutes, three minutes
in total
for perfect onions. I'm just going to flip those over now
see they're lovely and golden brown on that side and because we put the sugar in that
batter
these are going to stay Lovely and crispy. It's almost like frying donuts
and actually good onion rings should look like doughnuts
now that's a minute and a half and look we've got these wonderful
golden onion rings just going to pop them onto a little bit kitchen paper towel
and let the excess oil drip off
so they're my tips for making wonderful onion rings every time and of course the
proof of the pudding is in the eating come down here take a look at these

you can hear they're lovely and crisp. I've got to give this one
