Ingredients
- 1/2 /2 c all-purpose flour
- 1/4 /4 c cornstarch
- 2 tbsp instant mashed potato flakes
- 1/8 /8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/4 /4 tsp salt
- 1 c cold club soda
- 2-3 c panko breadcrumbs I kept needing to add more
- 1 large onion or 2 medium onions, cut into rings
- neutral cooking oil
Recommended Tools
- deep-fry thermometer
- wire cooling racks
Instructions
- Cut onions into rings. 1/4" works well, but you can go slightly thicker.
- Combine flour, cornstarch, potato flakes, cayenne, and salt in a pan.
- Add club soda and mix until dissolved. Don't worry about over-mixing, but don't spend forever trying to making it completely smooth. Prep a second pan with panko breadcrumbs with one fork for each pan and heat about ~1" of oil in a pot to 350F.
- Dip a ring into the batter and make sure rings are completely covered inside and out, the drop into the pan of breadcrumbs.
- Now use the dry fork to cover the ring completely, and then repeat with the remaining rings.
- Fry the rings in 350F, working in batches. About 2-3 minutes per batch until golden brown.
- Remove from the oil to a rack or a bed of paper towels and season with some salt while hot.
