Question 1

What are the best onions to use for onion rings?

Accepted Answer

Use sweet yellow onion or the white kind for this recipe. Yellow ones are less pungent than white, so keep that in mind if you’re serving guests who don’t like too strong onion flavors. I prefer using the sweeter varieties such as Walla Walla, Vidalia, and Maui onion. Also, pay attention to the shape as well. In general, the flatter ones are sweeter than the round-shaped kinds.

Question 2

How to cut the onion?

Accepted Answer

Remove the stem and root. Then, carefully cut a thin slice off one end. This will stabilize it while cutting. Next, slice crosswise with the flat side down. Cut into your desired thickness.

Question 3

How do you keep the batter from falling off onion rings?

Accepted Answer

Use cold batter. Also, it is important to avoid any excess flour on the slices. Don’t forget to use hot oil at the right temperature as well.
