What is Crispy Onion Rings

Onion rings dipped in a spiced sparkling water batter, coated in panko and deep fried until golden and crisp.

How to make Crispy Onion Rings

Tips from the cook

  • Cut the rings an even 6 mm thick, so they cook at the same speed.
  • Keep the water cold, as that gives a light batter.
  • Let the excess batter drip off before the panko, or the coating turns heavy.
  • Fry in batches at 175 °C and drain on paper towels.
