Onion rings

• servings: 2 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 large onion cut into 1cm slices, rings separated

groundnut oil for deep frying

150g self-raising flour

180ml sparkling water

Directions

Use a fork to steady your onion. Slice the onion into rings about 1cm wide. Remove the skin and separate the rings.

Heat the oil to 180C in a heavy-based pan – it should be no more than 1/ 3 full.

Meanwhile put the flour and sparkling water in a bowl and season generously. Whisk together to form a batter.

Coat a small batch of onion rings in batter. Carefully lower into the hot oil and deep-fry until crisp and golden, about 2 - 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a piece of kitchen towel to drain. Repeat with the remaining onion and batter.
