Original Sonic Onion Rings
Description
This recipe creates a distinctive batch of onion rings featuring the use of melted vanilla ice cream in the batter, which complements the flour and cornmeal coating. Onions are peeled and sliced into thick rings, then soaked in water to separate. These rings are dipped sequentially into flour, melted ice cream, and cornmeal, allowing the coating to adhere well and develop a crispy crust during frying.
Fried at 350°F, the battered onion rings develop a golden color and a crunchy texture, while the melted ice cream adds subtle sweetness and moisture to the batter. The method to let the coated rings dry slightly on a tray before frying helps achieve even crispness. This preparation results in a contrast between the tender onion interior and the crispy sweet crust.
Sifting the flour and cornmeal occasionally prevents lumps and facilitates even coating. Placing the rings leaning on each other during drying saves space and promotes uniform drying across the entire surface.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds onion sliced, and rings separated, Spanish variety
- 24 ounces water
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 12 ounces vanilla ice cream melted
- 8 ounces cornmeal
- vegetable oil for frying
