Culver’s Onion Rings Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 large onions (yellow or white)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup buttermilk (or regular milk if you don’t have buttermilk)
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs (for extra crispiness)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the Onions:
- Peel the onions and slice them into 1/2-inch thick rings. You can separate the rings from each other gently.
- Make the Batter:
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg.
- Prepare the Coating:
- Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
- Coat the Onion Rings:
- Dip each onion ring into the dry flour mixture, making sure it’s coated evenly.
- Next, dip it into the buttermilk and egg mixture.
- Finally, coat the onion ring in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help them stick.
- Heat the Oil:
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to about 375°F (190°C). You need enough oil to fully submerge the onion rings.
- Fry the Onion Rings:
- Fry the onion rings in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the onion rings from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve:
- Serve the crispy onion rings hot with your favorite dipping sauce, like ranch dressing, honey mustard, or ketchup.
