Ingredients
Onion Rings:
* 1 large sweet or yellow onion thickly sliced into 1/2-inch thick rings
* 1 cup milk
* 1 Tbsp white vinegar
* 1/2 cup sour cream
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1/2 Tbsp salt
* 1/4 tsp black pepper
* 1 tsp garlic powder
* Oil for frying I used grapeseed oil – use something with a high smoke point
Easy Fry Sauce:
* 1/3 cup mayo
* 3 tablespoons ketchup or to taste
* Hot sauce to taste (I used a dash of Tabasco)
Instructions
Heat a dutch oven over medium heat with 1″ of oil (or enough to cover the onion rings). You can use a deep fryer if you have one.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup milk with 1 Tbsp vinegar and let sit 5 minutes. Whisk in 1/2 cup sour cream.
In a separate bowl, whisk together: 1 cup flour, 1/2 Tbsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp garlic powder.
Separate the onion rings and dip each ring in the sour cream mixture, then dredge with flour.
Repeat by dipping in milk mixture a second time and dredging again in flour. Place the finished onion rings on a plate until ready to fry.
Once the oil is hot enough for the onion rings to sizzle, place the double battered onion rings in the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes or until exterior is crisp and light golden brown. I was able to fit 3-4 rings in my dutch oven at a time. Let onion rings cool on paper towels so soak up any excess oil.
Easy Fry Sauce:
Whisk together all of the fry sauce ingredients until smooth, adding hot sauce to taste. Enjoy!
