For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder, smoked paprika, or cayenne pepper to the batter. Make sure the oil temperature is consistent for even cooking. If the oil is not hot enough, the onion rings will absorb too much oil and become soggy. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, ketchup, or a spicy aioli. For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.

02 Step
Recipe View 1 hrs Prepare the Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, milk, egg, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and salt until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps for a perfect batter consistency.
